Ammons

Famous quotes containing the word ammons:

    risk is full: every living thing in
    siege: the demand is life, to keep life: the small
    white blacklegged egret, how beautiful, quietly stalks and spears
    the shallows, darts to shore
    to stab—
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    air or vacuum, snow or shale, squid or wolf, rose or lichen,
    each is accepted into as much light as it will take,
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
