Heart Arteries

Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or arteries:

    “Then one will say, ‘He is not dead, maybe,
    Who was mortality’s unshaken lover
    Who loved the spring upon the Tennessee,
    The hushed fall and, again, the coming clover.’
    None will recall, not knowing, the twisted roads
    Where the mind wanders till the heart corrodes.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “there’s a kind of lust feeds on itself
    Unspoken to, unspeaking; subterranean
    As a black river full of eyeless fish
    Heavy with spawn; with a passion for time
    Longer than the arteries of a cave.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
