Anne Sexton Quote

I try to take care
and be gentle to them.
Words and eggs must be handled with care.
Once broken they are impossible things to repair.


The Awful Rowing Toward God (ed. 1975)


I try to take care and be gentle to them. Words and eggs must be handled with care. Once broken they are impossible things to repair.
