Twelve Days

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or days:

    “it was you untying the snarls and knots,
    the webs, all bloody and gluey;
    you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
    beating, wresting, beating, beating
    your way out of childhood,
    that airless net that fastened you down.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ““The days have outnumbered
    my fingers and toes.
    What can I count with now?”
    Saying this,
    the naive girl cries.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
