Floating Man

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or man:

    The man who, from the beginning of his life, has been bathed at length in the soft atmosphere of a woman, in the smell of her hands, of her bosom, of her knees, of her hair, of her supple and floating clothes, ... has contracted from this contact a tender skin and a distinct accent, a kind of androgyny without which the harshest and most masculine genius remains, as far as perfection in art is concerned, an incomplete being.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “Don’t touch me, please I say, don’t touch me, please.
    I’ll not be put to bed by you, my man.”
    “Just as you say. Have it your own way, then.
    ‘My man is it?’ You talk like a professor....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
