Folds

Famous quotes containing the word folds:

“The rare original heartsblood goes,
Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“Bunched upside down, they sleep in air.
Their sharp ears, their sharp teeth, their quick sharp faces
Are dull and slow and mild.
All the bright day, as the mother sleeps,
She folds her wings about her sleeping child.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
