W.S. Merwin Quotes

There Are Poets Who Believe That You Shouldn't Engage At All In Any Cause. And There's Something To Be Said For That. Because You Don't Want To - I Think Most Political Poetry Is Very Bad. And It's Very Bad Because You Know Too Much To Start With. You Have A Sense That You're Right, And You're Trying To Tell Other People What's Right. And I Think That's Always Kind Of Fundamentalism, And I Don't Like It.
