Famous quotes containing the words south, carolina and/or poetry:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.

His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“For poetry makes nothing happen:”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
