Stuck

Famous quotes containing the word stuck:

    She went in there to muse on being rid
    Of relative beneath the coffin lid.
    No one was by. She stuck her tongue out; slid.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    It is as real
    as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
    is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
    and are there and are true.
    What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
    calling me, calling you.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “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.)
