Intolerable

Famous quotes containing the word intolerable:

    If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Love is the unfamiliar Name
    Behind the hands that wove
    The intolerable shirt of flame
    Which human power cannot remove.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
