Sword Dancers

Famous quotes containing the words sword and/or dancers:

“your bones,
round rulers, round nudgers, round poles,
numb nubkins, the sword of sugar.
I feel the skull, Mr. Skeleton, living its
own life in its own skin.”

For the last dancers of their kind,

For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
