Alec Stone Sweet

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or sweet:

    “This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man’s hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
    Missing so much and so much?
    O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
    Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
    When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
    And shivering sweet to the touch?”
    —Frances Cornford (1886–1960)
