Nuyorican Poets Cafe

Famous quotes containing the words poets and/or cafe:

    O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
    The poets labouring all their days
    To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
    Are overthrown by a woman’s gaze....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    When cafe life thrives, talk is a shared limberness of the mind that improves appetite for conversation: an adequate sentence maker is then made good, a good one excellent, an excellent one extraordinary.
    Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
