Famous quotes containing the word clinging:

    “These are the small townsmen of death,
    A man and a woman, like two leaves
    That keep clinging to a tree,
    Before winter freezes and grows black....”

    “Not honey, not the sweet
    stain on the lips and teeth:
    not honey, not the deep

    and the clinging of the gold-edged
    pollen-dusted feet.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
