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)
