Angela Carter Quotes

When He Combs His Hair That Is The Colour Of Dead Leaves, Dead Leaves Fall Out Of It; They Rustle And Drift To The Ground As Though He Were A Tree And He Can Stand As Still As A Tree, When He Wants The Doves To Flutter Softly, Crooning As They Come, Down Upon His Shoulders, Those Silly, Fat, Trusting Woodies With The Pretty Wedding Rings Round Their Necks. He Makes His Whistles Out Of An Elder Twig And That Is What He Uses To Call The Birds Out Of The Air--all The Birds Come; And The Sweetest Singers He Will Keep In Cages.
