Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

I am so tired of that old suffering.

And if I tried
to give you something else,
something outside myself,
you would not know
that the worst of anyone
can be, finally,
an accident of hope

Then all this became history.
Your hand found mine.
Life rushed to my fingers like a blood clot.
Oh, my carpenter,
the fingers are rebuilt.
They dance with yours.

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