Famous quotes containing the word neck:

    “Generation on generation, your neck rubbed the windowsill
    of the stall, smoothing the wood as the sea smooths glass.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    “your antlers like seaweed,
    your face like a wolf’s death mask,
    your mouth a virgin, your nose a nipple,
    your legs muscled up like knitting balls,
    your neck mournful as an axe....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
