American Girl

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or girl:

“... his voice and hands,
Within whose warm spring rain of loving care
Each dwells some twenty seconds. Now, dear child,
What’s wrong, the deep American voice demands,
And, scarcely pausing, goes into a prayer
Directing God about this eye, that knee.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“The bed is ravaged by such
sweet sights. The girl is.
The girl drifts up out of
her nightgown and its color.”
