Token Packet

Famous quotes containing the words token and/or packet:

“The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
like a plastic daisy and put out
the black cat of her sensuous anger
to howl on the fence all night.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

“we know our end
A packet of worm-seed, a garden of spent tissues.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
