Sore Throats

Famous quotes containing the words sore and/or throats:

    But the cheerful Spring came kindly on
    And show’rs began to fall:
    John Barleycorn got up again
    And sore surpris’d them all.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Loving feels lonely in a violent world,
    irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
    with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
    and flesh melting down to glue.
    We can no longer shut out the screaming
    That leaks through the ventilation system ...
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
