Winch Quotes

The young men strained upon the crank To wring the last reluctant inch. They laughed together, fair and frank, And threw their loins across the winch. (Vita Sackville-West)

There were only four of them this time. But what an important four. Winch. Strange. Prell. And Landers. About the four most important men the company had held. View quote
