Rune Stones

Famous quotes containing the words rune and/or stones:

“This is no rune nor symbol,
what I mean is it is so simple
yet no trick of the pen or brush
could capture that impression;
what I wanted to indicate was
a new phase, a new distinction of colour.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The writing of a poem is like a child throwing stones into a mineshaft. You compose first, then you listen for the reverberation.”
