Ashbery

Famous quotes containing the word ashbery:

    You remain a sane, yet sophisticated, person:
    Rooted in twilight, dreaming, a piece of traffic.
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    We can remember as easily as the day we were born
    The maggots we passed on the way and how the day bled
    And the night too on hearing us, though we spoke only our childish
    Ideas and never tried to impress anybody even when somewhat older.
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Alone with our madness and favorite flower
    We see that there really is nothing left to write about.
    Or rather, it is necessary to write about the same old things
    In the same way, repeating the same things over and over
    For love to continue and be gradually different.
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
