Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or torrent:

    she bit the towel and called on God
    and I saw her life stretch out . . .
    I saw her torn in childbirth,
    and I saw her, at that moment,
    in her own death and I knew that she
    knew.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Mixed in one mighty torrent did appear,
    Some flying from the thing they feared, and some
    Seeking the object of another’s fear;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
