Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner,
    And take to light claret instead of pale ale;
    Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,
    And never touch bread till it’s toasted—or stale
    —H.S. (Henry Sambrooke)

    I’ve never read a political poem that’s accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.
    Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)
