Drifts

Famous quotes containing the word drifts:

“I could not follow your wishes, but I know
If they assuaged you
It would not be crying in this dark, your sorrow,
It would not be crying, so
That my own heart drifts and cries, having no death
Because of the darkness,
Having only your grief under my mouth
Because of the darkness.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“It is the sea that whitens the roof.
The sea drifts through the winter air.
It is the sea that the north wind makes.
The sea is in the falling snow.
This gloom is the darkness of the sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The bed is ravaged by such
sweet sights. The girl is.
The girl drifts up out of
her nightgown and its color.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
