“Summoning a child’s voice from a webfoot stone,
Never never oh never to regret the bugle I wore
On my cleaving arm as I blasted in a wave.
Now shown and mostly bare I would lie down,
Lie down, like down and live
As quiet as a bone.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Wild Nights—Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone’s concern and like vampires they suck our life’s blood.”
—Bette Davis (1908–1989)
“Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?”
—Ray Evans (b. 1915)
