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)

    He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
