Twelve Windows

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or windows:

    “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)

    “—and then it was
    There interposed a Fly—

    With Blue—uncertain stumbling Buzz—
    Between the light—and me—
    And then the Windows failed—and then
    I could not see to see—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
