White Blossoms

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or blossoms:

    “Child, the current of your breath is six days long.

    at my breast. Your lips are animals; you are fed
    with love.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    whose blossoms touch the sky.

    where Watteau hung a lady’s
    slipper.”
