Room Locked

Famous quotes containing the words room and/or locked:

    In a room on the floor below,
    Sunless, cooler—a brimming
    Saucer of wax, marbly and dim—
    I have lit what’s left of my life.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    see the shaky future grow familiar
    in the pinched, indigenous faces
    of these thoroughbred mental cases,
    twice my age and half my weight.
    We are all old-timers,
    each of us holds a locked razor.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
