Sexton Woods

Famous quotes containing the words sexton and/or woods:

    The others died, the luck of it blurting through them.
    I could not, I was a silly broken umbrella
    and oblivion would not kiss me. For three days it
    was thus.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
