Finnish Poet

Famous quotes containing the words finnish and/or poet:

“A conversation in English in Finnish and in French can not be held at the same time nor with indifference ever or after a time.”

“You know that the nucleus of a time is not
The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
