Showing Living

Famous quotes containing the words showing and/or living:

“These foliaceous heaps lie along the bank like the slag of a furnace, showing that Nature is “in full blast” within.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Now, again, poetry
violent, arcane, common,
hewn of the commonest living substance
into archway, portal, frame
I grasp for you, your bloodstained splinters, your
ancient and stubborn poise
Mas the earth trembles—
burning out from the grain”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
