Paper Sons

Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or sons:

    The hand that signed the paper felled a city;
    Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath,
    Doubled the globe of dead and halved a country;
    These five kings did a king to death.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    and of my distrusting self
    white-doctor-who-breathed-for-him-all-night
    say it for two sons gone,
    say nightmare, say it loud
    panebreaking heartmadness:
    nightmare begins responsibility.
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
