Marries Unnamed Woman

Famous quotes containing the words marries and/or woman:

    For when we must resign our vital breath,
    Our Loves by Fate benighted,
    We by this friendship shall survive in death,
    Even in divorce united.
    Weak Love through fortune or distrust
    In time forgets to burn,
    But this pursues us to the Urn,
    And marries either’s Dust.
    Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    Say the woman is forty-four.
    Say she is five seven-and-a-half.
    Say her hair is stick color.
    Say her eyes are chameleon.
    Would you put her in a sack and bury her,
    suck her down into the dumb dirt?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
