Heel Bone

Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or bone:

    “Fair is the world.
    I sing. The ache
    up from heel to knee
    of the weights
    gives to the song its
    ground bass.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Take adultery or theft.
    Merely sins.
    It is evil who dines on the soul,
    stretching out its long bone tongue.
    It is evil who tweezers my heart,
    picking out its atomic worms.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
