Soul Daddy

Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or daddy:

    “When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,—when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I held my breath
    and daddy was there,
    his thumbs, his fat skull,
    his teeth, his hair growing
    like a field or a shawl.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
