Flat Face

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or face:

    The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Nor at so fair a pace
    open the flower-petals
    as your face bends down,
    while, breath on breath,
    your mouth wanders
    from my mouth o’er my face.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
