Hayden

Famous quotes containing the word hayden:

    Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    As well have a talon as a finger, a muzzle as a mouth,
    as well have a hollow as a heart.
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    Luna presence,
    foredoomed, already dying,
    it charged the room
    with plangency

    older than human
    cries,
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
