—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

“The question “From where does the poet get it?” addresses only the what, nobody learns anything about the how when asking that question.”

about politics in the Balkans,
or the vexed question of men and women,

but everyone has a definite opinion
about the flavour of shredded coconut.”
