Twelve Stars

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or stars:

    “it was you untying the snarls and knots,
    the webs, all bloody and gluey;
    you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
    beating, wresting, beating, beating
    your way out of childhood,
    that airless net that fastened you down.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “And is it true? And is it true,
    This most tremendous tale of all,
    Seen in a stained-glass window’s hue,
    A Baby in an ox’s stall?
    The Maker of the stars and sea
    Become a Child on earth for me?”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
