Young Eels

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or eels:

“I tell you old and young are better than tired middle-aged, nothing is so dead dead-tired, dead every way as middle-aged.”

“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)
