Quietly

Famous quotes containing the word quietly:

    risk is full: every living thing in
    siege: the demand is life, to keep life: the small
    white blacklegged egret, how beautiful, quietly stalks and spears
    the shallows, darts to shore
    to stab—
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    The white hive is snug as a virgin,
    Sealing off her brood cells, her honey, and quietly humming.

    Smoke rolls and scarves in the grove.
    The mind of the hive thinks this is the end of everything.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    I remember their smooth skin,
    those newly delivered,
    the pink skin and the serious China-blue eyes.
    They came from a mysterious country
    without the pang of birth,
    born quietly and well.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
