Soggy Bottom Boys

Famous quotes containing the words soggy, bottom and/or boys:

    “The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
    Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
    Through living roots awaken in my head.
    But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “In things abstract, men but differ in the sounds that come from their mouths, and not in the wordless thoughts lying at the bottom of their beings.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
    Man in his maggot’s barren.
    And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
    I am the man your father was.
    We are the sons of flint and pitch.
    O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
