Wilbur

Famous quotes containing the word wilbur:

    But ceremony never did conceal,
    Save to the silly eye, which all allows,
    How much we are the woods we wander in.
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    The good grey guardians of art
    Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
    Impartially protective, though
    Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    The end will come quickly, my love. There is a pain beyond pain, an agony so intense it shocks the mind into instant oblivion. We’ll find immortality together, for they’ll remember me through you.
    —Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)
