Red Dirt Boys

Famous quotes containing the words red, dirt and/or boys:

    The Anglo-Saxon hive have extirpated Paganism from the greater part of the North American continent; but with it they have likewise extirpated the greater portion of the Red race. Civilization is gradually sweeping from the earth the lingering vestiges of Paganism, and at the same time the shrinking forms of its unhappy worshippers.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    This mangled, smutted semi-world hacked out
    Of dirt . . . It is not possible for the moon
    To blot this with its dove-winged blendings.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Ms. Dog wouldn’t give them her buttocks.
    She would moon at them.
    Just at the killers of the dream.
    The bus boys of the soul.
    Or at death
    who wants to make her a mummy.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
