Poetry Quote by Miriam Joy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Wide sea, that one continuous murmur breeds”

“What wretched poverty of language! To compare stars to diamonds!”

“On Pleasure”

“i laced my shoes with sorrow”

“Read poems to yourself in the middle of the night. Turn on a single lamp and read them while you're alone in an otherwise dark room or while someone else sleeps next to you. Read them when you're wide awake in the early morning, fully alert. Say them over to yourself in a place where silence reigns and the din of the culture — the constant buzzing noise that surrounds us — has momentarily stopped. These poems have come from a great distance to find you.”

“Again I resume the long”
