Stroke Machines

Famous quotes containing the words stroke and/or machines:

    “All I have to do
    is hear his name
    and every hair on my body
    just bristles with desire.
    When I see
    the moon of his face,
    this frame of mine
    oozes sweat like a moonstone.
    When that man
    as dear to me as breath
    steps close enough to me
    to stroke my neck,
    the thought of jealousy
    is shattered in my heart
    that’s hard as diamond
    sometimes.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “There are bills to be paid, machines to keep in repair,
    Irregular verbs to learn, the Time Being to redeem
    From insignificance.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
