Flayed Skin

Famous quotes containing the words flayed and/or skin:

    you have flayed us
    with your blossoms,
    spare us the beauty
    of fruit-trees.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    You flicker. I cannot touch you.
    I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.

    And it exhausts me to watch you
    Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
