Pan Lost

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or lost:

    “When Pan sounds up his minstrelsy;
    His minstrelsy! O base! This quill,
    Which at my mouth with wind I fill,
    Puts me in mind, though her I miss,
    That still my Syrinx’ lips I kiss.”
    —John Lyly (1553–1606)

    “Part way back from Bedlam
    I came to my mother’s house in Gloucester,
    Massachusetts. And this is how I came
    to catch at her; and this is how I lost her.
    I cannot forgive your suicide, my mother said.
    And she never could.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
