Recent Favorite Quotes:

“What are you doing in your classroom now, that you could turn over to your students to do themselves?”

- Alan November @globalearner quoted in Education Week

“Poems are never finished - just abandoned” ― Paul Valéry

And it is by such means that Yeats's work does what the necessary poetry always does, which is to touch the base of our sympathetic nature while taking in at the same time the unsympathetic nature of the world to which that nature is constantly exposed. The form of the poem, in other words, is crucial to poetry's power to do the thing which always is and always will be to poetry's credit: the power to persuade that vulnerable part of our consciousness of its rightness in spite of the evidence of wrongness all around it, the power to remind us that we are hunters and gatherers of values, that our very solitudes and distresses are creditable, in so far as they, too, are an earnest of our veritable human being.

- Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize Lecture (1995)
