Leaving

Famous quotes containing the word leaving:

“pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
and holding them, clicking them
in thumb and forefinger,
the indent of twenty-five years,
like a tiny rip leaving its mark....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

Apart from nature, if need be,
And only its own seasons own;
For nature leaving its humanity.”
