Ashbery

Famous quotes containing the word ashbery:

    Always, a few errands
    Summon us periodically from the room of our forethought
    And that is a good thing.

    The hand holds no chalk
    And each part of the whole falls off
    And cannot know it knew, except
    Here and there, in cold pockets
    Of remembrance, whispers out of time.
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    ... the first step of the terrible journey toward feeling somebody should act, that ends in utter confusion and hopelessness, east of the sun and west of the moon.
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
