The train that bore me through the night
The Bloody Chamber
ceased to be her child in becoming his wife
The Bloody Chamber
Have the nasty pictures scared baby?
The Bloody Chamber
The other clasped my father's service revolver
The Bloody Chamber
'Behind wrought iron gates'
The Courtship of Mr Lyon
How could his host, so mysterious, so kind, deny Beauty her present
The Courtship of Mr Lyon
You will come back to me
The Courtship of Mr Lyon
Since you left me, I have been sick
The Courtship of Mr Lyon
And then it was no longer a lion in her arms, but a man
The Courtship of Mr Lyon
My father lost me to The Beast at cards
The Tiger's Bride
My father said he loved me yet he staked his daughter on a hand of cards
The Tigers Bride
The Beast's hereditary palazzo outside the city
The Tiger's Bride
A cell had been prepared for me
The Tiger's Bride
The sight of a young lady's skin that no man has seen before
The Tiger's Bride
The trees stir with a noise like taffeta skirts of women who have lost themselves in the wood
The Erl-King
He is an excellent housewife
The Erl-King
He could thrust me into the seed-bed of next year's generation
The Erl-King
Your green eye is a reducing chamber
The Erl-King
Mother, mother, you have murdered me!
The Erl-King
Fresh snow fell on snow already fallen
The Snow Child
I wish I had a girl as white as snowI wish I had a girl as red as bloodI wish I had a girl as black as that birds feather
The Snow Child
So the girl picks a rose; pricks her finger on the thorn; bleeds; screams; falls
The Snow Child
it bites
The Snow Child
Her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity
The Lady of the House of Love
In her dream, she would like to be human; but she does not know if that is possible
The Lady of the House of Love

The Lady of the House of Love
She likes to hear it announce how it cannot escape
The Lady of the House of Love

The Werewolf
The child wiped the blade of her knife clean with an apron
The Werewolf
The child lived in her grandmother's house; she prospered
The Werewolf
Seven years is a werewolf's natural span but if you burn his human clothing you condemn him to wolfishness for the rest of his life
The Company of Wolves
She is an unbroken egg; she is a sealed vessel
The Company of Wolves
She will lay his fearful head on her lap and she will pick out the lice from his pelt and perhaps she will put the lice into her mouth and eat them, as he will bid her, as she would in a savage wedding ceremony
The Company of Wolves
she is not a wolf
Wolf-Alice
howls like a wolf with his foot in a trap or a woman in labour, and bleeds
Wolf- Alice
She kept upon his bed to lick, without hesitation,without disgust
Wolf-Alice
