Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself,
Counting this row and that row of moccasins
Waiting on the silent shelf.

I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind.

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