Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or length:
“... the attempt to control poetry, to subordinate it to extrapoetic ends, constitutes misuse.... it may be poetrys stubborn quality of rockbottom, intrinsic uselessness which ... constitutes the guarantee of its integrity, and hence of its ultimate value to us.”

This man was limited,
Where screens leant on the wall
And idle headphones hung.
Since he would soon be dead
They let his wife come along
And pour out tea, each day.”
