Quotes by Dorian Haarhoff  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I, who know and tell,
to tribes of women,
stories of dolls in pockets,
that rise alive in secret nights
and given sustenance,-
bread and beer -
succour the girl,
separate kernel from chaff
and help her outwit the witch
who smacks her lips
waiting for failure”
― Dorian Haarhoff, Poemegranates
