More From Howard Nemerov
- "I would talk in iambic pentameter if it were easier."
- "I think there was a revolution in poetry, associated chiefly with Eliot and Pound; but maybe it is of the nature of revolutions or of the nature of history that their innovations should later come to look trivial or indistinguishable from technical tricks."
- "A lot happens by accident in poetry."
More In History
- "Those who become mentally ill often have a history of chronic pain."― Gene Tierney
- "Film is the manipulative medium par excellence. When you think back on the history of film and the 20th century, you see the propaganda that’s been made. So there are moral demands on the director to treat the spectators as seriously as he or she takes himself and not to see them merely as victims that can be manipulated to whatever ends they have."― Michael Haneke
- "The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it."― Karl Marx
