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)

    “Literature is a toil and a snare, a curse that bites deep.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
