Empty Net

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or net:

    The water never formed to mind or voice,
    Like a body wholly body, fluttering
    Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
    Made constant cry,
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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)
