Famous quotes containing the words prickly and/or ash:

    “What is this beast, she thought,
    with muscles on his arms
    like a bag of snakes?
    What is this moss on his legs?
    What prickly plant grows on his cheeks?
    What is this voice as deep as a dog?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    adjusting the ash heaps;
    opening and shutting itself like

    an
    injured fan.”
