Shakes

Famous quotes containing the word shakes:

“Death quarrels, and shakes the tree,
And fears are flowers, and flowers are generation,
And the founding, foundering, beast-instructed mansion
Of love called into being by this same death
Hangs everywhere its light.”

And gave their laughs more glee than shakes a child.”

old dwarf heart shakes her head.
Like an imbecile she was born old.”
