Wolf Flesh

Famous quotes containing the words wolf and/or flesh:

    “‘O opportunity! thy guilt is great,
    ‘Tis thou that execut’st the traitor’s treason;
    Thou set’st the wolf where he the lamb may get;
    Whoever plots the sin, thou point’st the season;
    ‘Tis thou that spurn’st at right, at law, at reason;
    And in thy shady cell, where none may spy him,
    Sits Sin to seize the souls that wander by him.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Those groans men use
    passing a woman on the street
    or on the steps of the subway
    to tell her she is a female
    and their flesh knows it,
    are they a sort of tune...?”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
