Dowry Killings

Famous quotes containing the words dowry and/or killings:

    As groceries in a pantry gleam and smile
    Because they are important weights
    Bought with the metal minutes of your pay,
    So do these hours stand in solid rows,
    The dowry for a use in common life.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    ‘I told him, Look at all those fightings and killings down there,
    What’s the matter? Why don’t you put a stop to it?
    ‘I try, he said—That’s all he could do, he looked tired. He’s a bachelor so long, and he likes lentil soup.’
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
