- Anne Sexton

About this Quote

In this quote, Anne Sexton is prompting the reader to make a conscious decision about how they select to live their life. She presents 2 choices: to either live or to die. Nevertheless, she highlights the importance of not poisoning whatever in the process. This could be analyzed as not triggering damage or destruction to oneself or others while making choices. It might also indicate not permitting negative ideas or actions to consume one's life. Sexton's words act as a reminder to be conscious of our actions and their effect on ourselves and those around us. Ultimately, she encourages us to deal with intent and function, without triggering damage to ourselves or others.
