Sexton Woods

Famous quotes containing the words sexton and/or woods:

    A woman who writes feels too much,
    those trances and portents!
    As if cycles and children and islands
    weren’t enough; as if mourners and gossips
    and vegetables were never enough.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    As for men, they will hardly fail one anywhere. I had more visitors while I lived in the woods than at any other period of my life; I mean that I had some.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
