Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or throat:
“Now remember courage, go to the door,
Open it and see whether coiled on the bed
Or cringing by the wall, a savage beast
Maybe with golden hair, with deep eyes
Like a bearded spider on a sunlit floor
Will snarl—and man can never be alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
