Oyster/anatomy

Famous quotes containing the words oyster and/or anatomy:

    But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)

    I love to see, when leaves depart,
    The clear anatomy arrive,
    Roy Campbell (1902–1957)
