Additional quotes by Anne Carson

And now time is rushing towards them
where they stand side by side with arms touching, immortality on their faces, night at their back.

You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that?

And I said,
Where do I put it down?

Banal sexism aside,
I find myself tempted

to read Wuthering Heights as one thick stacked act of revenge
for all that life withheld from Emily.
But the poetry shows traces of a deeper explanation.

As if anger could be a kind of vocation for some women.
It is a chilly thought.
