Stroked

Famous quotes containing the word stroked:

“In their sympathies, children feel nearer animals than adults. They frolic with animals, caress them, share with them feelings neither has words for. Have they ever stroked any adult with the love they bestow on a cat? Hugged any grownup with the ecstasy they feel when clasping a puppy?”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)

“Green Snake, when I hung you round my neck
and stroked your cold, pulsing throat”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
