Wood Smoke

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or smoke:

“Ashtrays to cry into,
the suffering brother of the wood walls,
the forty-eight keys of the typewriter
each an eyeball that is never shut,
the books, each a contestant in a beauty contest,
the black chair, a dog coffin made of Naugahyde....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“All those large dreams by which men long live well
Are magic-lanterned on the smoke of hell;”
