Famous quotes containing the words body and/or lean:
“American Archangel you are going—
your body as big as a moving van—
the houses, the highways are turning you in.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold
A sheephook, or have learn’d ought else the least
That to the faithful herdman’s art belongs!
What recks it them? What need they? They are sped.
And when they list their lean and flashy songs
Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw,
The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
