Young Eels

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or eels:

“Turn back. Turn, young lady dear
A murderer’s house you enter here
I was wooed and won little bird”

“Going down for the last time, the last breath lying,
I grapple with eels like ropes—it’s ether, it’s queer
and then, at last, it’s done. Now the scavengers arrive,
the hard crawlers who come to clean up the ocean floor.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
