Quotation
- Que tes mains soient bénies, car elles sont impures!
- Elles ont des péchés cachés à toutes les jointures;
- Leur peau blanche s'est trempée dans l'odeur âpre des caresses
- Secrètes, parmi l'ombre blanche où rampent les caresses,
- Et l'opale prisonnière qui se meurt à ton doigt,
- C'est le dernier soupir de Jésus sur la croix.

Famous quotes containing the word quotation:
“In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“We are as much informed of a writer’s genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, and find a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, “the italics are ours.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
