Left Breast Suspended

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

    The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.

    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    This is the last leaf
    in the year’s book.
    Now I come to grief
    as the earth’s breast goes hard and mean
    and hay is packed for the manger.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The lichen on the rocks is a rude and simple shield which beginning and imperfect Nature suspended there. Still hangs her wrinkled trophy.
