One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

“you show her the two hands
that grip each other fiercely,
one being mine, one being yours.
Torn right off at the wrist bone
when you started in your
impossible going, gone.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

“Come, my pretender, my fritter,
my bubbler, my chicken biddy!
Oh succulent one,
it is but one turn in the road
and I would be a cannibal!”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
