Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or wool:
“bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,

bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“After all, the wool of a black sheep is just as warm.”
