Famous quotes containing the words skinny and/or bear:
“Say never the strong heart
In the consuming breath
Cries out unto the dark
The skinny death.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Their legs long, delicate and slender, aquamarine their eyes,
Magical unicorns bear ladies on their backs.
The ladies close their musing eyes. No prophecies,
Remembered out of Babylonian almanacs,
Have closed the ladies’ eyes, their minds are but a pool
Where even longing drowns under its own excess....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
