Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“The wonder of light is your familiar tale,
Pert wench, down to the nineteenth century:
Mr. Rimbaud the Frenchman’s apostasy
Asserts the argument that you are stale,
Flat and unprofitable, importunate but pale,
Lithe Corpse!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
