Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“If only I could nudge you from this sleep,
My maimed darling, my skittery pigeon.
Over this damp grave I speak the words of my love:
I, with no rights in this matter,
Neither father nor lover.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.
She would like some one to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
will commit that indiscretion.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“What is more true than anything else? To swim is true and to sink is true. One cannot speak any more of being, one must speak only of the mess.”
