Planet Covered

Famous quotes containing the words planet and/or covered:

    “Until they saw, over the mists
    of Venus, two fish creatures stop
    on spangled legs and crawl
    from the belly of the sea.
    And from the planet park
    they heard the new fruit drop.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “When my face turned toward his,
    I averted it
    and looked at my feet.
    When my ears clamored
    to hear his talk,
    I stopped them.
    When my cheeks broke out
    in sweat and goosebumps,
    I covered them with my hands.
    But Friends,
    when the seams of my bodice
    burst in a hundred places,
    what could I do?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
