Poetry Quote by Annie Finch — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life. This morning the sun made me adore it. It had, behind the dripping pine trees, the oriental brightness, orange and crimson, of a living being, a rose and an apple, in the physical and ideal fusion of a true and daily paradise.”

“Amor, ch'al cor gentile ratto s'apprende”

“August is dust here. Drought”

“I wouldn't be surprised if poetry - poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs - is how the world works. The world isn't logical; it's a song.”

“Later that night she picked the polish off”

“Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.”
