More From Leonard Cohen
- "To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation’s sweetest dreams of itself."
- "Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."
