Famous quotes by denise levertov:

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

    ... found myself
    myself, smaller,
    not thin but thinner, nervous,
    who hurries without animal calm.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    there, where you live,
    live:
    start over,
    everyman, with
    the algae of your dreams.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The small sleek one wants to stop,
    docile to the imploring soul of the trashbasket,
    but the young tall curly one
    wants to walk on; the glistening sidewalk
    entices him to arcane happenings.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Like dogs in Mexico,
    furless, sore, misshapen,
    arrives from laborious nowhere
    Agony.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
