Armstrong Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words armstrong and/or wrote:

    rather then men shall say we were hange’d,
    Let them report how we were slaine.’
    —Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 51–52)

    When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
    on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
    it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
    fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
    it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
    ...
    No more masks! No more mythologies!
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
