Palace Lock Heart

Famous quotes containing the words palace, lock and/or heart:

    “You weep, you weep for the sun an Image.
    ...
    the wind calls hideously,

    woe for a palace rent,
    woe, woe for these who spent
    life-blood
    in hate.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “They lock me in this chair at eight a.m.
    and there are no signs to tell the way,
    just the radio beating to itself
    and the song that remembers
    more than I.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “blue bead on the wick,
    there’s that in me that
    burns and chills, blackening
    my heart with its soot,
    I think sometimes not Apollo heard me
    but a different god.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
