Sexton Woods

Famous quotes containing the words sexton and/or woods:

    At her best
    she is all red muscle, humming in and out, cajole
    by time. Where I go, she goes.
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is remarkable with what pure satisfaction the traveler in these woods will reach his camping-ground on the eve of a tempestuous night like this, as if he had got to his inn, and, rolling himself in his blanket, stretch himself on his six-feet-by-two bed of dripping fir twigs, with a thin sheet of cotton for roof, snug as a meadow-mouse in its nest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
