Stem Dead Donors

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or dead:

    “Bite down
    on the bitter stem of your nectared
    rose, you know
    the dreamy stench of death and fling
    magenta shawls delicately
    about your brown shoulders laughing.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Some dead undid their bushy jaws,
    And bags of blood let out their flies;
    He had by heart the Christ-cross-row of death.
    Sleep navigates the tides of time;
    The dry Sargasso of the tomb
    Gives up its dead to such a working sea....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
