Famous quotes containing the words shop and/or opens:
“A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I can smell
the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white fingers
that shake out the intestines
like a hankie.”
—Philip Levine (b. 1928)
