Crimson Chin Comic

Famous quotes containing the words crimson, chin and/or comic:

    On her left breast
    A mole cinque-spotted, like the crimson drops
    I’ th’ bottom of a cowslip.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    what can I do with this memory?
    Shake the bones out of it?
    Defoliate the smile?
    Stub out the chin with cigarettes?
    Take the face of the man I love
    and squeeze my foot into it....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Whereas the comic confronts simply logical contradictions, the tragic confronts a moral predicament. Not minor matters of true and false but crucial questions of right and wrong, good and evil face the tragic character in a tragic situation.
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 7, Yale University Press (1961)
