Snodgrass

Famous quotes containing the word snodgrass:

“They wear their godhead lightly.
They look out from their hill and say,
To themselves, “We have nowhere to go but down;
The great destination is to stay.””

“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

“in darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
