Narrow Black

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or black:

“because your clamorous blood
Beats an impermanent rest
You think the dead arise
Westward and fabulous:
The dead are those whose lies
Were doors to a narrow house.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“... the whole day to live through,
steadfast, deep, interior.
After the death,
after the black of black,
this lightness
not to die, not die....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
