Turned Heel

Famous quotes containing the words turned and/or heel:

    Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
    Though now she’s turned into a reed;
    From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
    A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
    Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
    So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;
    John Lyly (1553–1606)

    In the dense light of wakened flesh
    animal man is a prince. As from alabaster
    a lucency animates him from heel to forehead.
    Then his shadows are deep and not gray.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
