Legs

Famous quotes containing the word legs:

“By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
Burning and sweating venomously,
Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“I move my thin legs into your office
and we work over the cadaver of my soul.
We make a stage set out of my past
and stuff painted puppets into it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Your legs that bounce me up and down,
your dear nylon-covered legs,
are the horses I will ride
into eternity.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
