Felt Larkin

Famous quotes containing the words felt and/or larkin:

    I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    All catches alight
    At the spread of spring:
    Birds crazed with flight
    Branches that fling
    Leaves up to the light
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
