Famous quotes containing the words bow and/or string:

    I unknit.
    Words fly out of place
    and I, long into the desert,
    drink and drink
    and bow my head to that meadow
    the breast, the melon in it....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ... looped with the creep of varying light,
    Monkey-brown, fish-grey, a string of infected circles
    Loitering like bullies, about to coagulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
