Shapes

Famous quotes containing the word shapes:

    Her bones
    under the flesh are white
    as sand which along a beach
    covers but keeps the print
    of the crescent shapes beneath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    And from the first declension of the flesh
    I learnt man’s tongue, to twist the shapes of thoughts
    Into the stony idiom of the brain....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    No, no; but as in my idolatry
    I said to all my profane mistresses,
    Beauty, of pity, foulness only is
    A sign of rigour: so I say to thee,
    To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign’d,
    This beauteous form assures a piteous mind.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
