Rocking Chairs

Famous quotes containing the words rocking and/or chairs:

    her rocking horse was pain
    with vomit steaming from her mouth.
    Her belly was big with another child,
    cancer’s baby, big as a football.
    I could not soothe.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
