Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or mother:
“What a mysterious faculty is that queen of the faculties!”

of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
