Famous quotes containing the words morris and/or ginsberg:

    Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
    Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
    Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
    Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
    —William Morris (1834–1896)

    corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered
    crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be- toothless mouth of
    sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire
    spiderweb,
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
