Famous quotes by denise levertov:

    Well
    could I go
    on one wing,
    the white one?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    small sunflowers
    freckled with soot
    clamber out of the fill....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    A changing skyline.
    A slice of window filled in
    by a middle-distancing oblong
    topped by little
    moving figures.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Then the bird
    breaks with his beak the thread
    of dream within him,
    and the tree unrolls
    the shadow that will guard it
    throughout the day.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    An absolute
    patience.
    Trees stand
    up to their knees in
    fog.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
