Soggy Bottom Boys

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)

    “Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wrecks,
    A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,
    Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,
    Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
    All scattered in the bottom of the sea.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The boys and girls are one tonight.
    They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies.
    They take off shoes. They turn off the light.
    The glimmering creatures are full of lies.
    They are eating each other. They are overfed.
    At night, alone, I marry the bed.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
