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)

    “Listen. The minstrels sing
    In the departed villages. The nightingale,
    Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
    And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
