Emanuel

Famous quotes containing the word emanuel:

    Begin with loss and see
    how the world contradicts you,
    how the horizon implies that beyond it
    the water is not empty
    but full of ships
    all docking at another island.
    —Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
    uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
    A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
    the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
    The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
    we could have anything we wanted.
    —Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
