I, who was never quite sure
about being a girl, needed another
life, another image to remind me.
And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
nor soothe it. I made you to find me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
