Maimed King

Famous quotes containing the words maimed and/or king:

    If only I could nudge you from this sleep,
    My maimed darling, my skittery pigeon.

    I, with no rights in this matter,
    Neither father nor lover.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    You can put a Miss America in a room with a group of other attractive women and you’ll find you will know exactly who she is. It’s almost like a magnet. There is an inner beauty, an inner glow.
    —Rebecca King Dreman (b. c. 1954)
