Shy Younger Men

Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:

    “I want mother’s milk,
    that good sour soup.

    and a mouth above making kisses.
    I want nipples like shy strawberries
    for I need to suck the sky.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I know not what the younger dreams—
    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We love to hear some men speak, though we hear not what they say; the very air they breathe is rich and perfumed, and the sound of their voices falls on the ear like the rustling of leaves or the crackling of the fire. They stand many deep.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
