Ash Bed

Famous quotes containing the words ash and/or bed:

“The last cobwebs
of fog in the
black firtrees are flakes
of white ash in the world’s hearth.”

“But today I set the bed afire
and smoke is filling the room,
it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
and they are just for you....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
