Heel Stone

Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or stone:

    “In the dense light of wakened flesh
    animal man is a prince. As from alabaster
    a lucency animates him from heel to forehead.
    Then his shadows are deep and not gray.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “I passed a tomb among green shades
    Where seven anemones with down-dropped heads
    Wept tears of dew upon the stone beneath.”
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
