Cups Quotes - Page 18

• Holy is the dish and drain, the soap and sink, and the cup and plate and the warm wool socks, and the cold white tile, showerheads and good dry towelsand frying eggs sound like psalms, with bits of salt measured in my palm. It's all a part of a sacrament, as holy as a day is spent.

But when I won the first set, I said to myself, 'Okay, I still have to do the same work.' I was worried I couldn't do it for the whole match, but I did it.

• I remember, I remember
  The roses, red and white,
  The violets, and the lily-cups,
  Those flowers made of light!

  And where my brother set
  The laburmum on his birthday,-
  The tree is living yet.
