Thorny Headed Worm

Famous quotes containing the words thorny, headed and/or worm:

    Let Love step down,
    open the clasped hands,
    forfeit the thorny crown,
    retrieve the garment
    that was whole,
    body and spirit one, spirit and soul.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I’m headed for a land that’s far away
    Beside the crystal fountains.
    So come with me, we’ll go and see
    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

    out of soil, by passage
    of himself
    constructing.
    Castles of metaphor!
