Black Set

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or set:

“The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
of two who were one upon a large woodpile
and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
into flame....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Do I terrify?—

The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
