Famous quotes containing the word hecht:
“If the heart has its reasons, perhaps the body
Has its own lumbering sort of carnal spirit,
Felt in the tingling bruises of collision,
And known to captains as esprit de corps.”

Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”

Picasso’s or the Pope’s
The one that annually coos in Our Lady’s ear
Half the world’s hopes,”
