Doorway Pages

Famous quotes containing the words doorway and/or pages:

    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)

    Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second- guessing in The New York Review of Books.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
