Poetry Quote by Hanif Abdurraqib — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When one does something, one must do it wholly and well. Those bastard existences where you sell suet all day and write poetry at night are made for mediocre minds – like those horses that are equally good for saddle and carriage, the worst kind, that can neither jump a ditch nor pull a plow.”

“If I could I would nail these hands to the edges of stars. I would sacrifice this body to the sky hoping to resurrect as someone spiteful enough to not care about you.”

“How long your closet held a whiff of you,”

“I am not obsessing.”

“Il pleure dans mon coeur”

“From love's plectrum arises”
