Piercy

Famous quotes containing the word piercy:

    when I work I am pure as an angel
    tiger and clear is my eye and hot
    my brain and silent all the whining
    grunting piglets of the appetites.
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    this quilt might be
    the only perfect artifact a woman
    would ever see, yet she did not doubt
    what we had forgotten, that out of her
    potatoes and colic, sawdust and blood
    she could create ...
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
    and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
    the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
    like a plastic daisy and put out
    the black cat of her sensuous anger
    to howl on the fence all night.
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
