Prometheus (art Song) - Poem

Famous quotes containing the word poem:

“It has been played once more. I think you exist only
To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem
Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“I’ve never read a political poem that’s accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.”
—Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)
