Speaker Died

Famous quotes containing the words speaker and/or died:

    The speaker in this case
    is a middle-aged witch, me
    tangled on my two great arms,
    my face in a book
    and my mouth wide,
    ready to tell you a story or two.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    They said, “Here are the maps”; we burned the cities.
    It was not dying—no, not ever dying;
    But the night I died I dreamed that I was dead,
    And the cities said to me: “Why are you dying?
    We are satisfied, if you are; but why did I die?”
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
