White Carpet

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or carpet:

    “But today I set the bed afire
    and smoke is filling the room,
    it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
    and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
    I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
    and they are just for you....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A wind has started a little whirlpool
    of sand where the carpet ought to be,
    and shells lie
    by the preposterous feet
    of that woman who frets me, annihilates me,
    O she will kill me yet.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
