Poetry Quote by Leonard Cohen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Bind me to your will, bind me with these threads of sorrow, and gather me out of the afternoon where I have torn my soul on twenty monstrous altars, offering all things but myself.”

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”

“so much of the world is plunged in darkness and chaos...”

“Show me slowly what I only”

“At first first nothing will happen to us”

“I heard of a man”

“love ridden”

“I dreamed I spoke in another's language,”

“Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were”

“I bring you with reverent hands”

“Sometimes, your body can make you angry”

“An anaesthetic is a poet-killer.”
