No Word of Farewell Quotes

“Slightly surreal, so private, so obscure
That critics classify his work as 'pure'
Because, in digging through the endless chatter
They can't discern what is the subject matter...”
― R.S. Gwynn, No Word of Farewell: Selected Poems, 1970-2000

“With him died a story
That will not be retold:
How, forsaking glory,
Achilles grows old
While Hector dusts his trophies
Behind high walls-
For in his unsung strophes
Troy never falls”
― R.S. Gwynn, No Word of Farewell: Selected Poems, 1970-2000
