Dead Wood

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or wood:

“Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire,
Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.”

“bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,
bodies crucified up onto their crutches,
bodies wearing rubber bags between their legs,
bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
