Red Caps

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or caps:

    “He was as bald as a hump.
    His ears stuck out like teacups
    and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
    like a red worm and when he kissed
    it crawled right in.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
