Generally Held

Famous quotes containing the words generally and/or held:

“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)

“you held me just as you must
and of course we’re not married, we are a pair of scissors
who come together to cut, without towels saying His. Hers.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
