Middle Line

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or line:

    I wanted him to fly, burst like a missile from your throat,
    burst from the spidery-mother-web,
    burst from Woman herself
    where too many had laid out lights
    that stuck to you and left a burn
    that smarted into your middle age.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.
    Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
