Dove Award

Famous quotes containing the words dove and/or award:

“On the day that will always belong to you,
lunar clockwork had faltered
and I was certain. Walking
the streets of Manhattan I thought:
Remember this day. I felt already
like an urn, filling with wine.”
—Rita Dove (b. 1952)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
