Middle Arms

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or arms:

“Had middle class black women begun a movement in which they had labeled themselves “oppressed,” no one would have taken them seriously.”

“And to your more bewitching, see the proud,
Plump bed bear up, and swelling like a cloud,
Tempting the two too modest; can
Ye see it brustle like a swan,
And you be cold
To meet it when it woos and seems to fold
The arms to hug you? Throw, throw
Yourselves into the mighty overflow
Of that white pride, and drown
The night with you in floods of down.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
