Famous quotes containing the words hell, kitchen and/or season:

    “O you singers solitary, singing by yourself, projecting me,
    O solitary me listening, never more shall I cease perpetuating you
    Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
    Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
    Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what
    there in the night,
    By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon,
    The messenger there aroused, the fire, the sweet hell within,
    The unknown want, the destiny of me.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “They know they are about to die,
    but breathe like premies, in and out,
    upon my kitchen table.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
    Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
