Scraped

Famous quotes containing the word scraped:

“Let it be stairways, and a splintery box
Where you have thrown me, scraped me with your kiss,
Have honed me, have released me after this
Cavern kindness smiled away our shocks.
That is the birthright of our lovely love
In swaddling clothes.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Dust fanned in scraped puffs from the earth
Between his arms, and blood turned his face inside out,
To demonstrate its suppleness
Of veins, as he perfected his role.”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Maud went to college.
Sadie stayed at home.
Sadie scraped life
With a fine-tooth comb.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
