White Holes

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or holes:

“Flower sent to flower;
for white hands, the lesser white,
less lovely of flower leaf.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
