    “Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “I am filling the room
    with the words from my pen.
    Words leak out of it like a miscarriage.
    I am zinging words out into the air
    and they come back like squash balls.
    Yet there is silence.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
