Margaret Atwood Quotes
It's A Wonder They Can Sit Down At All, And When They Walk, Nothing Touches Their Legs Under The Billowing Skirts, Except Their Shifts And Stockings. They Are Like Swans, Drifting Along On Unseen Feet; Or Else Like The Jellyfish In The Waters Of The Rocky Harbour Near Our House, When I Was Little, Before I Ever Made The Long Sad Journey Across The Ocean. They Were Bell-shaped And Ruffled, Gracefully Waving And Lovely Under The Sea; But If They Washed Up On The Beach And Dried Out In The Sun There Was Nothing Left Of Them. And That Is What The Ladies Are Like: Mostly Water.
