More From Anne Sexton

When the first mechanical clocks were invented, marking off time in crisp, regular intervals, it must have surprised people to discover that time flowed outside their own mental and physiological processes. body time flows at its own variable rate, oblivious to the most precise hydrogen master clocks in the laboratory. in fact, the human body contains its own exquisite time-pieces, all with their separate rhythms. there are the alpha waves in the brain; another clock is the heart. and all the while tick the mysterious, ruthless clocks that regulate aging.

I have over a hundred clocks. i've got fancy clocks and clocks from all over the world that people made for me.

Time confined into blind caves or extended through tunnels, responds to the call of infinity, which teases with its promise of freedom. outside the body, time is a pair of compasses in the hands of eternity, but inside it is a pendulum, fastened to the heart. the heart takes its measure from the lengthening swing of the pendulum surveying what time is left. in its own rhythm time spreads itself wildly here and there and is crippled elsewhere. its unequally distributed weight wounds my body - that is how the particularities of my life are manifest.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. instead, everyone would have his own personal time. the clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving. this has been confirmed by a number of experiments, including one in which an extremely accurate timepiece was flown around the world and then compared with one that had stayed in place. if you wanted to live longer, you could keep flying to the east so the speed of the plane added to the earth

Till i, high in the tower of my time among familiar ruins, began to cry for accident, sickness, justice, war and crime, because all died, because i had to die. the snow fell, the trees stood, the promise kept, and a child i slept.

I love going to the cinema. whenever i get time off, that's where i go.

A product is something made in a factory; a brand is something that is bought by the customer. a product can be copied by a competitor; a brand is unique. a product can be quickly outdated; a successful brand is timeless.
