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)
