Streetcar Quotes: Blanche's Past Flashcards
(15 cards)
I was on the
verge of - lunacy
The long parade
to the graveyard
Funerals are pretty
compared to deaths
The Grim Reaper had put
up his tent on our doorstep
She’s been through
such an ordeal
I’m not young and
vulnerable anymore
It was storm - all storm, and I
was - caught in the centre
I made the discovery - love
All at once and much, much too completely
Blanche didn’t just love him
but worshipped the ground he stood on
For the last year or two
she has been washed up like poison
Candles burn out in little boys’ and girls’
eyes, or wind blows them out
Nobody was tender and
trusting as she was
But people like you
abused her, and forced her to change
Intimacies with strangers was all
I seemed to be able to fill my empty heart with
The paddy wagon would
gather them up like daisies
