Legs

Famous quotes containing the word legs:

“But I am here,
And they are far, and time is old.
Within my dream the grass is cold;
The legs and locked; the sky is dead.”

three cherubs drawn by Michelangelo,
done this with her legs spread out
in the terrible months in the chapel.”

“as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that won’t hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
