Leaf Drop

Famous quotes containing the words leaf and/or drop:

    Southern trees bear a strange fruit
    Blood on the leaf and blood at the root
    Black bodies swingin’ in the southern breeze
    Strange fruit hangin’ in the poplar trees.
    Billie Holiday [Eleanor Fagan] (1915–1959)

    we drop into the soup
    and drown
    in the worry festering inside us,
    lest our children
    go so fast
    they go.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
