Favoring Release

Famous quotes containing the words favoring and/or release:

    Dead, hung up indoors, the kingfisher
    will not indicate a favoring wind,
    or avert the thunderbolt.
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
