Red Dirt Boys

Famous quotes containing the words red, dirt and/or boys:

    The poppy that my heart was,
    formed to bind all mortals,
    made to strike and gather hearts
    like flame upon an altar,
    fades and shrinks, a red leaf
    drenched and torn in the cold rain.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This mangled, smutted semi-world hacked out
    Of dirt . . . It is not possible for the moon
    To blot this with its dove-winged blendings.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Men get opinions as boys learn to spell,
    By reiteration chiefly.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
