Famous quotes containing the words poppy and/or goddess:
“The poppy that my heart was,
formed to bind all mortals,
made to strike and gather hearts
like flame upon an altar,
fades and shrinks, a red leaf
drenched and torn in the cold rain.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“under chenille bed spreads
The farm girls are feeling the goddess in them struggle and rise
brooding”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
