White Foliage

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or foliage:

    “The symmetrical piles of white bodies,
    the round white breast-shapes of the heaps,
    the smell of the smoke, the dogs the wires the
    rope the hunger. It had happened to others.
    There was a word for us. I was: a Jew.”
    —Sharon Olds (b. 1942)

    “Through light-obliterating garden foliage what magic drum?
    Down limb and breast or down that glimmering belly move his mouth and sinewy tongue.
    What from the forest came? What beast has licked its young?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
