Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

The butterfly owns her now.
It covers her and her wounds.

You say I resemble a flower; I partly agree; My brain is governed by black petals of burnt daisies

We all walk softly away.
We would stay and be the nurse but
there are too many of us and we are too worried to help.
It is love that walks away
and yet we have terrible mouths
and soft milk hands.
We worry with like.
We walk away like love.

We talked death with burned-up intensity, both of us drawn to it like moths to an electric light bulb. Sucking on it! - Anne Sexton
