Sugar Plum Ballerinas

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or plum:

    A good neighbour, even in this,
    Is fatal sometimes, cuts your morning up
    To mince-meat of the very smallest talk,
    Then helps to sugar her bohea at night
    With your reputation.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    Twilight and bulb define
    the brown room, the overstuffed plum sofa,
    the boy, and the girl’s thin hands above his head.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
