Stung

Famous quotes containing the word stung:

    My sleeping pill is white.
    It is a splendid pearl;
    it floats me out of myself,
    my stung skin as alien
    as a loose bolt of cloth.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Incarnate devil in a talking snake,
    The central plains of Asia in his garden,
    In shaping-time the circle stung awake,
    In shapes of sin forked out the bearded apple....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Keep out of Chancery.... It’s being ground to bits in a slow mill; it’s being roasted at a slow fire; it’s being stung to death by single bees; it’s being drowned by drops; it’s going mad by grains.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
