Stem Rot

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or rot:

    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)

    The duck fats rot in the roasting pan,
    And it’s over and over and all ...
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
