Rags

Famous quotes containing the word rags:

“I fasted for some forty days on bread and buttermilk
For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
And what’s the good of women for all that they can say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Made of old rags of tongues,
of flesh slipped through the abortionist’s knife
you snake thing....”

“The Beggar’s Rags, fluttering in Air,
Does to Rags the Heavens tear.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
