Famous quotes containing the word skeleton:

    “that skeleton wearing his bones like a broiler,
    or his righteousness like a swastika.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The Queen has lands and gold, Mother
    The Queen has lands and gold,
    While you are forced to your empty breast
    A skeleton Babe to hold”
    —Amelia Edwards (1831–1892)

    “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)
