Wilbur

Famous quotes containing the word wilbur:

    An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
    Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
    Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    We milk the cow of the world,
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Haul them off! Hide them!
    The heart winces
    For junk and gimcrack,
    for jerrybuilt things
    And the men who make them
    for a little money,
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
