Dark Skin

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or skin:

“When have I last looked on
The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies
Of the dark leopards of the moon?
All the wild witches, those most noble ladies,
For all their broom-sticks and their tears,
Their angry tears, are gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I remember their smooth skin,
those newly delivered,
the pink skin and the serious China-blue eyes.
They came from a mysterious country
without the pang of birth,
born quietly and well.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
