Sexton

Famous quotes containing the word sexton:

    We unlearn. I am a shore
    rocking you off. You break from me. I choose
    your only way, my small inheritor
    and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.
    Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    when the moment comes
    we’ll talk turkey,
    we’ll shoot words straight from the hip,
    we’ll play it as it lays.
    Yes,
    when death comes with its hood
    we won’t be polite.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    My business is words. Words are like labels,
    or coins, or better, like swarming bees.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
