Months

Famous quotes containing the word months:

    And he was

    there in the hall, flat on a sheet of blood that
    ran down the stairs. I did appreciate it. There are few
    hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest
    only casually invited, and that several months ago.
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    For months it hasn’t known the taste of steel
    Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
    But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
    Except in towns at night, is not a sin.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Sixteen. Her breasts
    round, round, and
    dark-nippled
    who now these two months long
    is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
