Son Nhut Air

Famous quotes containing the words son and/or air:

    As the son straddled
    the husband’s back
    when he fell at her feet,
    the housewife,
    though burnt by certain anger,
    began to laugh.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
