Bare

Famous quotes containing the word bare:

“What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“And the Goddess?
She stands
between the worlds.
She is ivory,
her breast bare, her bare arms
braceleted with gold snakes.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“the bare eyes were before me
And the hissing hair,
Held up at a window, seen through a door.
The stiff bald eyes, the serpents on the forehead
Formed in the air.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
