Famous quotes containing the words stroke and/or spark:
“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.)
“The applause and the favour of our fellow-men
Fan even a spark of genius to a flame.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
