Stem Ends

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or ends:

    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)

    they filled his belly
    with large stones and sewed him up.
    He was as heavy as a cemetery
    and when he woke up and tried to run off
    he fell over dead. Killed by his own weight.
    Many a deception ends on such a note.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
