Hannah Cowley/cowley%e2%80%99s Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words cowley and/or poetry:

    How could it be so fair, and you away?
    How could the Trees be beauteous, Flowers so gay?
    Could they remember but last year,
    How you did Them, They you delight,
    The sprouting leaves which saw you here,
    And call’d their Fellows to the sight,
    Would, looking round for the same sight in vain,
    Creep back into their silent Barks again.
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man’s life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
    Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
