Mouth Mirrors

Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or mirrors:

    May Allah keep her
    And other wives from me. But this young slave
    For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
    My soul I can’t forget, nor her slack eyes:
    The oasis of age is sand and lies.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    My own voice spoke to people,
    anyone, friends, strangers on the street, saying,
    “I am Mr. Rabbit.” The flesh itself had become mad
    and at three mirrors this was confirmed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
