Long Bones

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or bones:

“It’s like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don’t understand how you can live there. It’s really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there’s nothing moving. I’ve lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren’t as boring as Los Angeles.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)

“Sixteen. Her breasts
round, round, and
dark-nippled
who now these two months long
is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
