Merwin

Famous quotes containing the word merwin:

    This is the black sea-brute bulling through wave-wrack,
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    The sea curling,
    Star-climbed, wind-combed, cumbered with itself still
    As at first it was, is the hand no yet contented
    Of the Creator. And he waits for the world to begin.
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
    When the last fires will wave to me
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
