Final Held

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or held:

    “Only an attitude remains:
    Time has transfigured them into
    Untruth. The stone fidelity
    They hardly meant has come to be
    Their final blazon, and to prove
    Our almost-instinct almost true:
    What will survive of us is love.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I held a bayonet
    that was for the earth of your stomach.
    The belly button singing its puzzle.
    The intestines winding like the alpine roads.
    It was made to enter you
    as you have entered me....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
