Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or throat:

    I’ve known rivers:
    Ancient, dusky rivers.

    My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

    Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
    And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
    Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
    I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
