Drops

Famous quotes containing the word drops:

“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

“At a few drops of women’s rheum, which are
As cheap as lies, he sold the blood and labor
Of our great action.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.”
—Julia A. Fletcher Carney (1823–1908)
