Red Bill

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or bill:

    Her breasts under her gown
    are cold,
    for a flower has grown,
    murex-red
    on the red gown.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
