Hell Bank Notes

Famous quotes containing the words hell, bank and/or notes:

    I lost the love of heaven above,
    I spurned the lust of earth below,
    I felt the sweets of fancied love,
    And hell itself my only foe.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    It was like passing a boundary to dive
    Into the sun-filled water, brightly leafed
    And limbed and lighted out from bank to bank.
    That’s how the stars shine during the day.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
