Shapes

Famous quotes containing the word shapes:

“All know that all the dead in the world about that place are stuck
And that should mother seek her son she’d have but little luck
Because the fires of Purgatory have ate their shapes away;
I swear to God I questioned them and all they had to say
Was fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

under the flesh are white
as sand which along a beach
covers but keeps the print
of the crescent shapes beneath.”
