Selected Poems, 1923-1975 Quotes

“And the testicles of the fathers hang down like old lace”
― Robert Penn Warren, Selected Poems, 1923-1975

“In the last analysis, be always of whatever truth you would live.

For fire flames but in the heart of a colder fire.
All voice is but echo caught from a soundless voice.
Height is not deprivation of valley, nor defect of desire,
But defines, for the fortunate, that joy in which all joys should rejoice.”
― Robert Penn Warren, Selected Poems, 1923-1975
