Empty Net

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or net:

    Poetry isn’t a profession, it’s a way of life. It’s an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.
    Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

    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)
