Rune Poem

Famous quotes containing the words rune and/or poem:

“This is no rune nor symbol,
what I mean is it is so simple
yet no trick of the pen or brush
could capture that impression;
what I wanted to indicate was
a new phase, a new distinction of colour.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake.”
