Famous quotes containing the words pause and/or song:
“Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
“Now that you are laid out,
useless as a blind dog,
now that you no longer lurk,
the song rings in my head.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
