Selected Poems, 1930-1965 Quotes

“Life is stranger than any of us expected,
There is a somber, imponderable fate.
Enigma rules, and the heart has no certainty.”
― Richard Eberhart, Selected Poems, 1930-1965

“You would think the fury of aerial bombardment
would rouse God to relent; the infinite spaces
Are still silent. He looks on shock-pried faces.
History, even, does not know what is meant.”
― Richard Eberhart, Selected Poems, 1930-1965
