Fold Starts

Famous quotes containing the words fold and/or starts:

“we do not explain my husband’s insane abuse
and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“For now we take the floor
Quite unremarked-on, and I feel once more
That silent beckoning from you verify
All I remember weaker, but
Something in me starts toppling.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
