Famous quotes with Excoriated

  • The murderer smiles palely in wine, Death's horror grips the sick. Excoriated and naked, the nun prays Before the Savior's agony on the cross.The mother sings quietly in sleep.

In the whorehouse laughter rings.By candlelight down in the cellar hole The dead one paints with white hand A grinning silence on the wall. The sleeper whispers still.
    Georg Trakl
