Small Hermitage

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or hermitage:

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)

“A hermitage in the forest is the refuge of the narrow-minded misanthrope; a hammock on the ocean is the asylum for the generous distressed.”
