“Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Eschew the monumental. Shun the Epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“She knows the heat of a luxurious bed.
Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
