Division Crossed

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or crossed:

“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“my eyes filled up like an owl,
and my legs crossed themselves like Christ’s.
He was a stranger, Father.
Oh God,
he was a stranger,
was he not?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
