Famous quotes containing the words martha and/or davis:

    You’ve strung your breasts
    with a rattling rope of pearls,
    tied a jangling belt
    around those deadly hips
    and clinking jewelled anklets
    on both your feet.
    So, stupid,
    if you run off to your lover like this,
    banging all these drums,
    then why
    do you shudder with all this fear
    and look up, down;
    in every direction?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.?, Kashmirian king, compiler, author of some of the poems in the anthology which bears his name. translated from the Amaruataka by Martha Ann Selby, vs. 31, Motilal Banarsidass (1983)

    Night is a curious child, wandering
    Between earth and sky, creeping
    In windows and doors, daubing
    The entire neighborhood
    With purple paint.
    —Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)
