Additional quotes by Anne Sexton
And then I knew that the voice
of the spirits had been let in — as intense as an epileptic aura — and that no longer would I sing
alone.
From the Garden”
Come, my beloved,
consider the lilies.
We are of little faith.
We talk too much.
Put your mouthful of words away
and come with me to watch
the lilies open in such a field,
growing there like yachts,
slowly steering their petals
without nurses or clocks.
Let us consider the view:
a house where white clouds
decorate the muddy halls.
Oh, put away your good words
and your bad words. Spit out
your words like stones!
Come here! Come here!
Come eat my pleasant fruits.
Oh, all right, I say,
I'll save myself.
