Quotes

• “Не спи, не спи, художник,Не предавайся сну.Ты – вечности заложникУ времени в плену.”
• “They don’t ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise.”
• “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.”
• “It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose.”
• “What is laid down, ordered, factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth: life always spills over the rim of every cup.”
• “A candle burned on the table, a candle burned ... he whispered to himself — the beginning of something confused, formless; he hoped that it would take shape of itself. But nothing more came to him.”
