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)

    “In things abstract, men but differ in the sounds that come from their mouths, and not in the wordless thoughts lying at the bottom of their beings.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “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)
