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)

    The brown waves of fog toss up to me
    Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
    And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
    An aimless smile that hovers in the air
    And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It’s a funny thing about men, you know. They all start life being boys. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these senators were boys once.
    Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
