Lost Poems

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or poems:

    that warm metamorphosis of snow
    as gentle as the sort that woodsmen know
    who, lost in the white circle, fall at last
    and dream their way to death.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    Some poems are for holidays only. They are polished and sweet, but it is the sweetness of sugar, and not such as toil gives to sour bread. The breath with which the poet utters his verse must be that by which he lives.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
