Small Body

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or body:

your only way, my small inheritor
and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.
Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It is strange that they will make ado when a man’s body is buried, but not when he thus really and tragically dies, or seems to die.”
