Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or died:
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“I tell the tale that I heard told.
Mithridates, he died old.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
