Breathe

Famous quotes containing the word breathe:

“With their souls of patent leather,
they come down the road.
Hunched and nocturnal,
Where they breathe they impose,
silence of dark rubber,
and fear of fine sand.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

“They know they are about to die,
but breathe like premies, in and out,
upon my kitchen table.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Spread outward. Crack the round dome. Break through.
Have liberty not as the air within a grave
Or down a well. Breathe freedom, oh, my native,
In the space of horizons that neither love nor hate.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
