Heart Arteries

Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or arteries:

    “The heart of a woman falls back with the night,
    And enters some alien cage in its plight,
    And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars,
    While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.”
    —Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)

    “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)
