Heavy Machine

Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or machine:

“Now we will have a Christ.

and shuts her lifetime up
into this dump-faced day.”

“I brush my hair,
waiting in the pain machine for my bones to get hard,
for the soft, soft bones that were laid apart
and were screwed together. They will knit.
And the other corpse, the fractured heart,
I feed it piecemeal, little chalice. I’m good to it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
