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)

    “You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate
    As reek a’th’rotten fens, whose loves I prize
    As the dead carcasses of unburied men
    That do corrupt my air—I banish you!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
