Close

Famous quotes containing the word close:

    To be an editor, as I was.
    Then to lie here close by the river over the place
    Where the sewage flows from the village,
    And the empty cans and garbage are dumped,
    And abortions are hidden.
    Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)

    I close my eyes over the steaming
    tea and see God opening His teeth.
    “Oh,” He says.
    I see the child in me writing, “Oh.”
    Oh, my dear, not why.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I remember, I remember
    The fir trees dark and high;
    I used to think their slender tops
    Were close against the sky;
    It was a childish ignorance,
    But now ‘tis little joy
    To know I’m further off from Heaven
    Than when I was a boy.
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
