Produce Sooty Smoke

Famous quotes containing the words produce and/or smoke:

    A good word is as a good tree—
    its roots are firm,
    and its branches are in heaven;
    it gives its produce every season
    by the leave of its Lord.
    Qur’An. Abraham 14:29-30, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    But today I set the bed afire
    and smoke is filling the room,
    it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
    and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
    I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
    and they are just for you....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
