Generation Poems

Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or poems:

“But why should not the New Englander try new adventures, and not lay so much stress on his grain, his potato and grass crop, and his orchards,—raise other crops than these? Why concern ourselves so much about our beans for seed, and not be concerned at all about a new generation of men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I tell it stories now and then
and feed it images like honey.
I will not speculate today
with poems that think they’re money.”
