Brown Recluse Bites

Famous quotes containing the words brown, recluse and/or bites:

    “The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The writer is either a practising recluse or a delinquent, guilt-ridden one; or both. Usually both.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Each dawn is clear
    Cold air bites the throat.
    Thick frost on the pine bough
    Leaps from the tree
    snapped by the diesel”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
