Famous quotes containing the words pasternak and/or wrote:

“Snow, snow over the whole land
across all boundaries.
The candle burned on the table,
the candle burned.”

“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
