Skin Tones

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or tones:

I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.

And it exhausts me to watch you
Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

“‘Tis not that thy mien is stately,
‘Tis not that thy tones are soft;”
