Women Wore Long

Famous quotes containing the words women, wore and/or long:

    Down from the waist they are centaurs,
    Though women all above;

    There is the sulphurous pit, burning, scalding,
    Stench, consumption.

    He wore like a jewel a lemon-hued lynx
    With sand-waves loving her brow.
