and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.”
