Richard Wilbur Quotes

During My Lunch Hour, Which I Spent On A Bench In A Nearby Park, The Waitresses Would Come And Sit Beside Me Talking At Random, Laughing, Joking, Smoking Cigarettes. I Learned About Their Tawdry Dreams, Their Simple Hopes, Their Home Lives, Their Fear Of Feeling Anything Deeply, Their Sex Problems, Their Husbands. They Were An Eager, Restless, Talkative, Ignorant Bunch, But Casually Kind And Impersonal For All That. They Knew Nothing Of Hate And Fear, And Strove Instinctively To Avoid All Passion.
