Ivory Body

Famous quotes containing the words ivory and/or body:

    And ivory and bright gold,
    polished and lustrous grow faint
    beside that wondrous flesh
    and print of her foot-hold.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    When once—which every body must be—you are convinced of the wickedness and deceit of men, it is impossible to preserve untainted your own innocence of heart. Experience will prove the depravity of mankind, and the conviction of it only serves to create distrust, suspicion—caution—and sometimes causelessly.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
