Squash Blossom

Famous quotes containing the words squash and/or blossom:

    I am filling the room
    with the words from my pen.
    Words leak out of it like a miscarriage.
    I am zinging words out into the air
    and they come back like squash balls.
    Yet there is silence.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    how seasonably
    leaf and blossom uncurl
    and living things arrange their death,
    while someone from afar off
    blows birthday candles for the world.
    Irving Layton (b. 1912)
