Quotes by Donna Hilbert  (?)

“I don't need again to learn
the bitter lesson
that everything I love
is a flame between two fingers,
no act undone, no word unsaid.”
Donna Hilbert

“I won't repeat the dream
in which you leave me.
Let's just say I know the world,
how it alters in an instant,
that I awaken sick
in remorse and dread.”
Donna Hilbert

“Interregnum of old life and new.
Angry with you
for this dislocation.
I loved you in my other life.”
Donna Hilbert

“Empires come and go, but playgrounds last forever.”
Paul Kareem Tayyar, In the Footsteps of the Silver King

“I want to write poems that are natural, luminous, deep, spare. I dream of an art so transparent that you can look through and see the world.”
Stanley Kunitz

“End with an image and don't explain.”
Stanley Kunitz, The Collected Poems

“You must be careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.”
Stanley Kunitz
