Margaret Atwood Quotes

Once, I Discovered It Propped Up On My Sister's Pillow, Its Neck Wrapped In One Of Our Mother's Best Linen Dishtowels. Cookie Fragments On Dolls' Plates Were Laid Out Around It, Mixed With Berries From The Prickly-berry Hedge, Like Offerings Made To Appease An Idol. It Was Wearing A Chaplet Woven Of Carrot Fronds And Marigolds That My Sister And Leonie Had Picked In The Garden. The Flowers Were Wilted, The Garland Was Lopsided; The Effect Was Astonishingly Depraved, As If A Debauched Roman Emperor Had Arrived On The Scene And Had Hacked Off His Own Body In A Maiden's Chamber As The Ultimate Sexual Thrill.
