Poem

Famous quotes containing the word poem:

“A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit,
Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb,”

and with these dead disciples I will grapple.
Though rain curses the window
let the poem be made.”

To a very young man: but a poem is not poetry—
That is a life.”
