Drowned

Famous quotes containing the word drowned:

    the thing I came for:
    the wreck and not the story of the wreck
    the thing itself and not the myth
    the drowned face always staring
    toward the sun
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    The sea called
    you faced the estuary,
    you were drowned as the tide passed.
    I am glad of this
    at least you have escaped.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
