You stood alone to watch the searchlights trace
Their careful webs against the boding sky,”

and come out painted on a ceiling.
He wants to pierce the hornet’s nest
and come out with a long godhead.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete ... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.”
—Eda Le Shan (b. 1922)
