Night Strangler

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or strangler:

    Now days are dragon-ridden, the nightmare
    Rides upon sleep: a drunken soldiery
    Can leave the mother, murdered at her door,
    To crawl in her own blood, and go scot-free;
    The night can sweat with terror as before
    We pieced our thoughts into philosophy....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And within the house
    ashes are being stuffed into my marriage,
    fury is lapping the walls,
    dishes crack on the shelves,
    a strangler needs my throat,
    the daughter has ceased to eat anything....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
