W. H. Auden
-
Music is the best means we have of digesting time.
-
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
-
Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic.
-
Learn from your dreams what you lack.
-
Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared some experience with another.
