Brooks Men

Famous quotes containing the words brooks and/or men:

“Let it be stairways, and a splintery box
Where you have thrown me, scraped me with your kiss,
Have honed me, have released me after this
Cavern kindness smiled away our shocks.
That is the birthright of our lovely love
In swaddling clothes.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“A beautiful woman is born Queen of men and women both, as Mary Stuart was born Queen of Scots, whether men or women.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
