Quotes

  • My object to venture the suggestion that an important application of phonetics to metrical problems lies in the study of phonetic word-structure.
  • The oldOld winds that blewWhen chaos was, what doThey tell the clattered trees that IShould weep?
  • These beThree silent things:The falling snow...the hourBefore the dawn...the mouth of oneJust dead.
  • Listen.With faint dry sound,Like steps of passing ghosts,The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the treesAnd fall.
  • I knowNot these my handsAnd yet I think there wasA woman like me once had handsLike these.
