Skeleton Dance

Famous quotes containing the words skeleton and/or dance:

    The bone-frame was made for
    no such shock knit within terror,
    yet the skeleton stood up to it:
    the flesh? it was melted away,
    the heart burnt out, dead ember,
    tendons, muscles shattered, outer husk dismembered....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Never since the middle summer’s spring
    Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead,
    By pavèd fountain or by rushy brook,
    Or in the beachèd margent of the sea
    To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind,
    But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
