Natural Steps

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or steps:

“It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.”

“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
