Sons

Famous quotes containing the word sons:

“These boys who love their mother
who loves men, who passes on
her sons to other women;

The cloud across the sky. The windy pines.
the trickle gurgle in the swampy meadow

this is our body.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

her household books to you, daughter-in-law,
that her sons never saw?”

And such as Chaucer is shall Dryden be.”
