Famous quotes containing the words hell, kitchen and/or season:

    “If Michael, leader of God’s host
    When Heaven and Hell are met,
    Looked down on you from Heaven’s door-post
    He would his deeds forget.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A certain minor light may still
    Leap incandescent

    Out of kitchen table or chair
    As if a celestial burning took
    Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then—”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “She, O, she is fallen
    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
    Hath drops too few to wash her clean again
    And salt too little which may season give
    To her foul tainted flesh!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
