Famous quotes containing the words laid and/or threads:
“I brush my hair,
waiting in the pain machine for my bones to get hard,
for the soft, soft bones that were laid apart
and were screwed together. They will knit.
And the other corpse, the fractured heart,
I feed it piecemeal, little chalice. I’m good to it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“‘Tis sweet to feel by what fine-spun threads our affections are drawn together.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
