Famous quotes containing the words soggy, bottom and/or boys:

    “The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
    Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
    Through living roots awaken in my head.
    But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “Women are supposed to be deep—why? Because one can never get to the bottom with them. Women are not even shallow.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “She makes the willow shiver in the sun
    For maidens who were wont to sit and gaze
    Upon the grass, relinquished to their feet.
    She causes boys to pile new plums and pears
    On disregarded plate. The maidens taste
    And stray impassioned in the littering leaves.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
