Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

We make a stage set out of my past
and stuff painted puppets into it.
We make a bridge toward my future
and I cry to you: I will be steel!
I will build a steel bridge over my need!
I will build a bomb shelter over my heart!
But my future is a secret.
It is as shy as a mole.

Just once I knew what life was for.

Now he is gone
as you are gone.
But he belongs to me like lost baggage.
