Famous quotes containing the words body and/or lean:
““... And maybe we are all the same
Where no candles are,
And maybe we are all the same
That strip the body bare.”
O my dear, O my dear.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Study me then, you who shall lovers be
At the next world, that is, at the next spring:
For I am every dead thing,
In whom love wrought new alchemy.
For his art did express
A quintessence even from nothingness,
From dull privations, and lean emptiness:
He ruined me, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
