Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or lines:
“For poetry, hes past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
Id have him throw away his pen,
But theres no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks ... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries.... Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, dont bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
