Stuck

Famous quotes containing the word stuck:

    Here lies I and my three daughters,
    Killed by drinking the Cheltenham waters.
    If we had stuck to our Epsom salts
    We’d not be lying in these vaults.
    —Anonymous. From H. J. Loaring’s Curious Records (1872)

    “Darling,
    will you come home today
    after a few hours,
    or at noon,
    or a little later,
    or when the whole day’s passed?”
    A young wife
    with tearful words stuck in her throat
    spoils the departure of her man
    who wishes to go to a land
    that takes a hundred days
    to reach.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    I wanted him to fly, burst like a missile from your throat,
    burst from the spidery-mother-web,
    burst from Woman herself
    where too many had laid out lights
    that stuck to you and left a burn
    that smarted into your middle age.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
