Inches Thick

Famous quotes containing the words inches and/or thick:

“No imperfection in budded mountain,
Valleys breathe, heaven and earth move together,
daisies push inches of yellow air, vegetables tremble,
green atoms shimmer in grassy mandalas,
sheep speckle the mountainside, revolving their jaws with empty eyes,
horses dance in the warm rain,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

“The trees persist, yeasty and sensuous,
as thick as saints.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
