Hecht

Famous quotes containing the word hecht:

    It’s all very well to dream of a dove that saves,
    Picasso’s or the Pope’s
    The one that annually coos in Our Lady’s ear
    Half the world’s hopes,
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    Mens sana in men’s sauna, in the flush
    Of health and toilets, private and corporal glee,
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    an endless wind
    Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
    In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
