Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or marriage:

    Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
    That my Michael may sleep sound,
    Nor cry, not turn in the bed
    Till his morning meal come round;
    And may departing twilight keep
    All dread afar till morning’s back....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    the mother lies down on her marriage bed
    and eats up her heart like two eggs.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
