Fourth Son

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or son:

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Remember that every son had a mother
    whose beloved son he was,
    and every woman had a mother
    whose beloved son she wasn’t.
    Marge Piercy (20th century)
