Stem Dead Donors

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or dead:

    “Bite down
    on the bitter stem of your nectared
    rose, you know
    the dreamy stench of death and fling
    magenta shawls delicately
    about your brown shoulders laughing.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “So vulnerable.
    She is already trampled, that one,
    having traveled so far from the heart.
    She weighs so little.
    She is so light and vulnerable.
    She is the dead bee called love.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
