Named Mayakovsky

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or mayakovsky:

    We named you Joy.
    I, who was never quite sure
    about being a girl, needed another
    life, another image to remind me.
    And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
    nor soothe it. I made you to find me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Too slow, the wagons of years,
    The oxen of days—too glum.
    Our god is the god of speed,
    Our heart—our battle-drum.
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
