Alive

Famous quotes containing the word alive:

A bodiless childfull of life in the gloom,
Crying with frog voice, “What shall I be?
Poor unborn ghost, for my mother killed me
Scarcely alive in her wicked womb.”

Of April, you or some girl,
The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.”
