“When as that Rubie, which you weare,

Will last to be a precious Stone,
When all your world of Beautie ‘s gone.”

“I brush my hair,
waiting in the pain machine for my bones to get hard,
for the soft, soft bones that were laid apart
and were screwed together. They will knit.
And the other corpse, the fractured heart,
I feed it piecemeal, little chalice. I’m good to it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Happy ye leaves! whenas those lily hands,
Which hold my life in their dead-doing might,
Shall handle you, and hold in love’s soft bands,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
