Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or net:
“The cloakroom pegs are empty now,
And locked the classroom door,
The hollow desks are dimmed with dust....”

“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)
