Left Ear

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ear:

    Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
    The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
    Key West sank downward under massive clouds
    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I would like to think that no one would die anymore
    if we all believed in daisies
    but the worms know better, don’t they?
    They slide into the ear of a corpse
    and listen to his great sigh.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
