Young Eels

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or eels:

“It’s all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date.”

“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)
