Famous quotes containing the words witch, blackbird and/or pond:

    The witch turned as red
    as the Jap flag.
    Her blood began to boil up
    like Coca-Cola.
    Her eyes began to melt.
    She was done for.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It was evening all afternoon.
    It was snowing
    And it was going to snow.
    The blackbird sat
    In the cedar limbs.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    You cutting the lawn, fixing the machines,
    all this leprous day and then more vodka,
    more soda and the pond forgiving our bodies,
    the pond sucking out the throb.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
