Left Breast Suspended

Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:

    Was seiz’d by the spirit that trails in the lines underfoot,
    The rim, the sediment that stands for all the water and all the land
    of the globe.

    Fascinated, my eyes reverting from the south, dropt, to follow those slender windrows,
    Chaff, straw, splinters of wood, weeds, and the sea-gluten,
    Scum, scales from shining rocks, leaves of salt-lettuce, left by the tide,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
    Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Faces, suddenly suspended above you;
    faces that you think it’s your business to love
    if only you could remember their names.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
