Bibb Graves Hall

Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or hall:

    Nine-tenths of English poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    He packs wool sheared in April, honey
    in combs, linen, leather
    tanned from deerhide,
    and vinegar in a barrel
    hooped by hand at the forge’s fire.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
