Knowing

Famous quotes containing the word knowing:

“Who said it mattered
What monkeys did or didn’t understand?
They might not understand a burning-glass.
They might not understand the sun itself.
It’s knowing what to do with things that counts.”

“Summary riposte
To the dreary wail
There’s no knowing what
Love is all about.
Poets know a lot.”

moves in a wood of desire,

pale antlers barely stirring
as he hunts. I cannot tell
what power is at work, drenched there
with purpose, knowing nothing.”
