Whiskers/function

Famous quotes containing the words whiskers and/or function:

    But all the time he was talking she had in mind
    The notion of what his whiskers would feel like
    On the back of her neck.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.
    Jeni Couzyn (b. 1942)
