Brucha Meyers | 4 comments Regarding this quote - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8725... - only the last line is by Cummings, from his poem "pity this busy monster, manunkind" https://allpoetry.com/pity-this-busy-.... No idea where the rest of it is from, though "bouquet of clumsy words" is a line from a blink-182 song https://genius.com/Blink-182-going-aw....

Anyway, could this quote be removed? no need to keep the one line, that already has a quote, here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4170...

Thanks!

The one you would like to be deleted should be merged into the main quote - it has 87 likes. As the main quote has over 1600 likes this needs a Superlibrarian. Could you add Needs a Superlibrarian to your thread title?
