Groves Met

Famous quotes containing the words groves and/or met:

“In the groves of their academy, at the end of every vista, you see nothing but the gallows.”

“But always and sometimes questioning the old modes
And the new wondering, the poem, growing up through the floor,
Standing tall in tubers, invading and smashing the ritual
Parlor, demands to be met on its own terms now,
Now that the preliminary negotiations are at last over.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
