Lifts

Famous quotes containing the word lifts:

“a strange being leans over her
and lifts her chin firmly
and gazes at her with executioner’s eyes.”

Stilly
Of shoes, umbrellas, each eye attending its shoe, then
Bolting outright somewhere above where streets
Burst suddenly in rain. . . .”

Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
And says their names, and leaves them where they are.””
