The Radiance of Pigs Quotes

“What is more hilarious than carved marble pubic hair?
Thank you. Don't mention it.”
― Stan Rice, The Radiance of Pigs

“Vine flowers quicken
Like wakened chihuahuas”
― Stan Rice, The Radiance of Pigs

“The acid ants, the acidic ants, flowering
On the piece of melon in the saucer,
Making milky the wedge of cheese,
Are a garnet, burst into pieces of life,
On the pale pale saucer.
I hold the magnifying glass over them
And stare down as through a hole of water.
They shred with their ice tong jaws, shred and hurry,
Their antenna touch and touch, their
Black rears become more swollen,
They have exoskeletons, spikes,
They take their sweetness back to the queen,
For she alone lays the eggs
With the eyeballs like goldfish in condoms.”
― Stan Rice, The Radiance of Pigs
