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)
