Dead Wood

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or wood:

    —These are men whose minds the Dead have ravished
    Memory fingers in their hair of murders,
    Multitudinous murders they once witnessed.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    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)
