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)

    “Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones!
    Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so
    That heaven’s vault should crack. She’s gone forever.
    I know when one is dead and when one lives;
    She’s dead as earth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
