Shapiro

Famous quotes containing the word shapiro:

“We ask for no statistics of the killed,
For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”

Chew honey and spit out gall. They shall all smile
And love and pity him.

His death shall be by drowning.”

And words themselves stand up for him like Braille
And punch and perforate his parchment ear.”
