Dried

Famous quotes containing the word dried:

    God went out of me
    as if the sea dried up like sandpaper,
    as if the sun became a latrine.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Some spring the white man came, built him a house, and made a clearing here, letting in the sun, dried up a farm, piled up the old gray stones in fences, cut down the pines around his dwelling, planted orchard seeds brought from the old country, and persuaded the civil apple-tree to blossom next to the wild pine and the juniper, shedding its perfume in the wilderness. Their old stocks still remain.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered
    crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be- toothless mouth of
    sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire
    spiderweb,
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
