Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“The light passes
from ridge to ridge,
from flower to flower—”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The poem goes from the poet’s gibberish to
The gibberish of the vulgate and back again.
Does it move to and fro or is it of both
At once? Is it a luminous flittering
Or the concentration of a cloudy day?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
