She was striking. A combination of intensity and grace, long legs and long arms, and smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke – always smoking. Intense blue eyes, blue-black hair. She would sit with her limbs crossed in every direction, leaning forward, with her hand on her chin. She dressed well, carried herself like a model.
Peter Davison, on Anne Sexton, quoted in Anne Sexton: A Biography (via violentwavesofemotion)
