Zebra Room

Famous quotes containing the words zebra and/or room:

    Apeneck Sweeney spreads his knees
    Letting his arms hang down to laugh,
    The zebra strips along his jaw
    Swelling to maculate giraffe.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There are two kinds of fathers in traditional households: the fathers of sons and the fathers of daughters. These two kinds of fathers sometimes co-exist in one and the same man. For instance, Daughter’s Father kisses his little girl goodnight, strokes her hair, hugs her warmly, then goes into the next room where he becomes Son’s Father, who says in a hearty voice, perhaps with a light punch on the boy’s shoulder: “Goodnight, Son, see ya in the morning.”
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
