Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or net:
“But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“it was you untying the snarls and knots,
the webs, all bloody and gluey;
you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
beating, wresting, beating, beating
your way out of childhood,
that airless net that fastened you down.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
