Famous quotes containing the word graves:

    Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
    Do not forget what flowers
    The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
    Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
    Her sea-blue eyes were wild
    But nothing promised that is not performed.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    After, when they disentwine
    You from me and yours from mine,
    Neither can be certain who
    Was that I whose mine was you.
    To the act again they go
    More completely not to know.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    Nine-tenths of English poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
