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.”

Of the supernova burgeoning over the barn,
Lampshine blurred in the steam of beasts, the spirit’s right
Oasis, light incarnate.”

Will the clear announcer’s voice
Beat like a dove, and you and I

From the heart’s anarch and responsible town
Return by subway-mouth to life again,
Bearing the morning papers,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
