Shared Country

Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or country:

    The cot we shared is almost a prison
    where I can’t say buttercup, bobolink,
    sugarduck, pumpkin, love ribbon, locket,
    valentine, summergirl, funnygirl and all
    those nonsense things one says in bed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    And this mighty master of the organ of language, who knew its every stop and pipe, who could awaken at will the thin silver tones of its slenderest reeds or the solemn cadence of its deepest thunder, who could make it sing like a flute or roar like a cataract, he was born into a country without literature.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
