Hughes

Famous quotes containing the word hughes:

    I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed.
    Inaction, no falsifying dream
    Between my hooked head and hooked feet:
    Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat.
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    I was so sick last night I
    Didn’t hardly know my mind.
    So sick last night I
    Didn’t know my mind.
    I drunk some bad licker that
    Almost made me blind.
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

    Coming about its own business
    Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
    It enters the dark hole of the head.
    The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
    The page is printed.
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
