Small Body

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or body:

    We unlearn. I am a shore
    rocking you off. You break from me. I choose
    your only way, my small inheritor
    and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.
    Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    If a man’s eye falls
    on any of her limbs first,
    it is stuck on that spot.
    No one at all sees her body whole.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
