Legs Played June

Famous quotes containing the words legs, played and/or june:

    “By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “We have played this show everywhere except underwater.”
    —Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)

    “In June the bush we call
    alder was heavy, listless,
    its leaves studded with galls,
    growing wherever we didn’t
    want it.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
