Hecht

Famous quotes containing the word hecht:

    The coltish horseplay of the locker room,
    Moist with steam of the tiled shower stalls,

    But all the time he was talking she had in mind
    The notion of what his whiskers would feel like
    On the back of her neck.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    No prayers or incense rose up in those hours
    Which grew to be years, and every day came mute
    Ghosts from the ovens, sitting through crisp air,
    And settled upon his eyes in a black soot.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
