Famous quotes containing the words english and/or poets:
“Before I knew that I was Jewish or a girl I knew that I was a member of the working class. At a time when I had not yet grasped the significance of the fact that in my house English was a second language, or that I wore dresses while my brother wore pants, I knew—and I knew it was important to know—that Papa worked hard all day long.”
—Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
“When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
