Additional quotes by Ted Hughes

Who owns the whole rainy, stony earth? Death.
Who owns all of space? Death.

The jaws' hooked clamp and fangs
Not to be changed at this date;
A life subdued to its instrument.

Nothing has changed since I began.
My eye has permitted no change.
I am going to keep things like this.
