Famous quotes containing the word breast:

    “He bore her away in his arms,
    The handsomest young man there,
    And his neck and his breast and his arms
    Were drowned in her long dim hair.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Getting ready: the show girl scratches her breast and shakes out her feathers.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart
    Clumps in the breast with heavy stride;
    The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart,
    The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide.
    Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
