Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or poems:

    I am at the ship’s prow.
    I am no longer the suicide
    with her raft and paddle.
    Herr Doktor! I’ll no longer die
    to spite you, you wallowing
    seasick grounded man.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    After all, poets shouldn’t be their own interpreters and shouldn’t carefully dissect their poems into everyday prose; that would mean the end of being poets. Poets send their creations into the world, it is up to the reader, the aesthetician, and the critic to determine what they wanted to say with their creations.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
