It was a trick <br>to turn around once and know you were lost; <br>knowing the crow's horn was crying in the dark, <br>knowing that supper would never come, that the coast's <br>cry of doom from that far away bell buoy's bell <br>said <br>your nursemaid is gone<br>. O Mademoiselle, <br>the rowboat rocked over. Then you were dead. <br>Turn around once, eyes tight, the thought in your head. <br>Kind Sir: Lost and of your same kind <br>I have turned around twice with my eyes sealed <br>and the woods were white and my night mind <br>saw such strange happenings, untold and unreal. <br>And opening my eyes, I am afraid of course <br>to look-this inward look that society scorns- <br>Still, I search these woods and find nothing worse <br>than myself, caught between the grapes and the thorns.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anne+Sexton">Anne Sexton</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=345407" data-title="Kind Sir: These Woods de Anne Sexton" data-description="Kind Sir: This is an old game that we played when we were eight and ten.
