Pale Wing Patch

Famous quotes containing the words pale, wing and/or patch:

    “Her little loose hands, and dropping Victorian shoulders.
    And then her great weight below the waist, her vast pale belly
    With a thin young yellow little paw hanging out, and straggle of a
    long thin ear, like ribbon,
    Like a funny trimming to the middle of her belly, thin little dangle
    of an immature paw, and one thin ear.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “I come to one bush of berries so ripe it is a bush of flies,
    Hanging their bluegreen bellies and their wing panes in a Chinese
    screen.
    The honey-feast of the berries has stunned them; they believe in
    heaven.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “I sing a hero’s head, large eye
    And bearded bronze, but not a man,

    Although I patch him as I can
    And reach through him almost to man.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
