Poor Growth

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:

    Poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    You know that the nucleus of a time is not
    The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
    Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
    As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
    Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
    He shares the confusions of intelligence.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
