Subterranean Chamber

Famous quotes containing the words subterranean and/or chamber:

    “So this is the subterranean life.
    If it can’t be conjugated onto us, what good is it?
    What need for purists when the demotic is built to last,
    To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “But it is the same thing we are all seeing,
    Our world. Go after it,
    Go get it boy, says the man holding the stick.
    Eat, says the hunger, and we plunge blindly in again,
    Into the chamber behind the thought.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
