Feathers Cut

Famous quotes containing the words feathers and/or cut:

    How easily it falls, how easily I let drift
    On the surface of morning feathers of self-reproach:
    How easily I disperse the scolding of snow.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    and a man climbing
    must scrape his knees, and bring
    the grip of his hands into play. The cut stone
    consoles his groping feet. Wings brush past him.
    The poem ascends.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
