    who dries out under her hot breath.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
    sternly allotted sandpile
    Mhow silently
    emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

    o no.
    comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
