Poetry Quote by Clementine von Radics — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“But my heart is an old house”

“You never need to apologize”

“I think I like my brain best”

“My battered heart will always be”

“All this time”

“I thought leaving you would be easy,”

“Great is the hand that holds dominion over”

“We didn't start the fire”

“Licence my roving hands, and let them go”

“Most of my friends like words too well. They set them under the blinding light of the poem and try to extract every possible connotation from each of them, every temporary pun, every direct or indirect connection - as if a word could become an object by mere addition of consequences. Others pick up words from the streets, from their bars, from their offices and display them proudly in their poems as if they were shouting, "See what I have collected from the American language. Look at my butterflies, my stamps, my old shoes!" What does one do with all this crap?”

“I can barely conceive a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy.”

“Art is long, and Time is fleeting.”
