Famous quotes containing the words limb and/or girdle:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was.

“There are no stars to-night
But those of memory.
Yet how much room for memory there is
In the loose girdle of soft rain.”
