Famous quotes containing the words throat and/or singing:

    “She by my side
    Stared at the Moon; and then I knew he knew.
    And then he smiled at her; to him ‘twas funny—
    Her calm steel eyes, her earth-old throat of honey!”

    “I held a bayonet
    that was for the earth of your stomach.
    The belly button singing its puzzle.
    The intestines winding like the alpine roads.
    It was made to enter you
    as you have entered me....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
