Legs

Famous quotes containing the word legs:

    set forth three children under the moon,
    three cherubs drawn by Michelangelo,
    done this with her legs spread out
    in the terrible months in the chapel.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I see slip to the curb the long machines
    Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
    Shellacked with silk and light
    The hard legs of our women.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    the small tuft of fronds or katydid legs above each eye, still
    numbering the units in each group;
    the shadbones regularly set about the mouth, to droop or rise
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
