Autumn Break

Famous quotes containing the words autumn and/or break:

“And plenitude of plan shall not suffice
Nor grief nor love shall be enough alone
To ratify my little halves who bear
Across an autumn freezing everywhere.”

nor that blood would bloom in me
each month like an exotic flower,
nor that children,
two monuments,
would break from between my legs....”
