Dry Skin

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or skin:

    The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallow—the easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots don’t reach ground water—will dry up and blow away.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    they burned Joan
    and many, and many,
    burned at the stake,
    peeling their skin off,
    boiling their good red blood,
    their hearts like eggs....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
