Quotes by Dan Chiasson (?)

“If you are made for flight, intended for it,
you had better find a pursuer, fast.
Otherwise, all that fleeing is going nowhere.”

“Worn out by suffering, we lie on our great backs,
tossing grass up to heaven—as a distraction, not a prayer.

That’s not humility you see on our long final journeys
it’s procrastination. It hurts my heavy body to lie down.

— Dan Chiasson, from “The Elephant,” Natural History. (Knopf; First edition. edition October 11, 2005)”

“The most significant events, Bishop seems to argue, are destined to remain outside the scope of description. It is perhaps their very status as excessive or fugitive that makes them, in the end, significant. A poet who believes such things will not arrive uncomplicatedly at self-description.”
― Dan Chiasson, One Kind of Everything: Poem and Person in Contemporary America
