Essays Written

Famous quotes containing the words essays and/or written:

    Something
    Ought to be written about how this affects
    You when you write poetry:
    The extreme austerity of an almost empty mind
    Colliding with the lush, Rousseau-like foliage of its desire to communicate
    Something between breaths....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
