Pole Breast

Famous quotes containing the words pole and/or breast:

    O, withered is the garland of the war,
    The soldier’s pole is fallen!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.
    William Gass (b. 1924)
