Tate Published

Famous quotes containing the words tate and/or published:

    Buzzards float upon the sky
    Shrilling a metaphysic cry,
    Machines hum, midgets play,
    Another corpse is hauled away
    Hauled away
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers—such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
