Match Played

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or played:

“The phonographs of hades in the brain
Are tunnels that re-wind themselves, and love
A burnt match skating in a urinal—”

“It has been played once more. I think you exist only
To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem
Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
