Watched

Famous quotes containing the word watched:

    We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    We watched her jug a hare, once, on television, years ago.... The hare had been half rotted, then cremated, then consumed. If there is a god and she is of the rabbit family, then Saskia will be in deep doo- doo on Judgment Day.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    One enemy, of many, who knows well
    Your heart is luminous
    In the watched dark, quivering through locks and caves,
    Will pull the thunderbolts
    To shut the sun, plunge, mount your darkened keys....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
