Lock

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

“and wife or husband
who does not lock the door of the marriage
against you, finds you
not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
the light of the moon on flesh and hair.”

unpick the lock of your bones.
In other words
take off the wall
that separates you from God.”

To give whatever might chance to be,
Warning and time to be off in flight:”
