Famous quotes containing the words central and/or poem:
“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“A poem should be equal to:
Not true.
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
