The Selected Poems Quotes

“Time flames like a paraffin stove / and what burns are the minutes I live.”
― Irving Layton, The Selected Poems

“The famous and rich, even the learned and wise,
Singly or in pairs went to her dwelling
To press their civilized lips to her thighs
Or learn at first hand her buttocks' swelling
"Old nicoise whore”
― Irving Layton, The Selected Poems
