Young Woman

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or woman:

“Though Love has finished,
the young wife
doesn’t know when to quit
and thinks,
“There must be something else,”
her heart
wanting more.”

With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
Plying her needle and thread—
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,”
