Young Eels

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or eels:

“A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.”

“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)
