Calling

Famous quotes containing the word calling:

“... all professional ideologies are high-minded. Hunters, for instance, would not dream of calling themselves the butchers of the woods.”

And hear the narrow graves calling my child and me.”

“It is as real
as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
and are there and are true.
What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
calling me, calling you.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
