Mold Opens

Famous quotes containing the words mold and/or opens:

“indolence read as abnegation,
slattern thought styled intuition,
every lapse forgiven, our crime
only to cast too bold a shadow
or smash the mold straight off.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“I can smell
the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white fingers

that shake out the intestines
like a hankie.”
—Philip Levine (b. 1928)
