Mouth

Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

“How unpleasant to meet Mr. Eliot!
With his features of clerical cut,
And his brow so grim
And his mouth so prim”

Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain”

And other wives from me. But this young slave
For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
My soul I can’t forget, nor her slack eyes:
The oasis of age is sand and lies.”
