Wood Violet

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or violet:

    Ashtrays to cry into,
    the suffering brother of the wood walls,
    the forty-eight keys of the typewriter
    each an eyeball that is never shut,
    the books, each a contestant in a beauty contest,
    the black chair, a dog coffin made of Naugahyde....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
    Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
    The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
    Her stove, and lays out food in tins.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
