Famous quotes containing the words wordsworth and/or museum:
“could not even sustain
Some casual shout that broke the silent air,
Or the unimaginable touch of Time.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
