Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

Famous quotes containing the words dried and/or mushrooms:

“Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass”

overnight—

These mushrooms of the gods, resembling human organs uprooted,
rooted only on the air,”
