Merwin

Famous quotes containing the word merwin:

    The sea curling,
    Star-climbed, wind-combed, cumbered with itself still
    As at first it was, is the hand no yet contented
    Of the Creator. And he waits for the world to begin.
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    The ghosts of the villages trail in the sky
    Making a new twilight
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
    When the last fires will wave to me
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
