Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or space:
“I remember how they picked me up, a spindly kid,
Pinching and poking my thin ribs
Till I lay in their laps, laughing,
Weak as a whiffet;”

Im lonesome for it.
but body
goes away to I dont know where
and its lonesome to drift
above the space it
fills when its here.”
