Famous quotes containing the words kitchen and/or knife:

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

    When she, and though some said she played
    I said that she had danced heart’s truth,
    Drew a knife to strike him dead,
    I could but leave him to his fate;
    For, no matter what is said,
    They had all that had their hate....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
