Small Body

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or body:

    “Child, the current of your breath is six days long.
    You lie, a small knuckle on my white bed;
    lie, fisted like a snail, so small and strong
    at my breast. Your lips are animals; you are fed
    with love.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Each body is in its bunker. The surgeon applies his gum.
    Each body is fitted quickly into its ice-cream pack
    and then stitched up again for the long voyage
    back.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
