The Dispossessed Quotes

“War is the
Congress of adolescents, love in a mask,
Bestial and easy, issueless,
Or gets a man of bronze. No beating heart
Until the casual man can see the Angel's face”
― John Berryman, The Dispossessed

“He was a part of the night, part of the land,
Part of the bitter and exhausted ground
Out of which memory grows.”
― John Berryman, The Dispossessed

“Heartmating hesitating unafraid”
― John Berryman, The Dispossessed
