Text Quotes
But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots  (Basil Bunting Quotes) I hate Science. It denies a man’s responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God’s fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Compose aloud: poetry is a sound. Never explain- your reader is as smart as you. Your reader is not just any reader, but is the rare one with ears in his head  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Always carry a corkscrew and the wine shall provide itself  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Can a moment of madness make up for an age of consent?  (Basil Bunting Quotes) To appreciate present conditions, collate them with those of antiquity  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Men are fools to invest in real estate  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Name and date split in soft slate a few months obliterate. 166  (Basil Bunting Quotes) The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology  (Basil Bunting Quotes) The times are squalid. They always were. It is a poet’s duty to hold the line  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Praise the green earth. Chance has appointed her home, workshop, larder, middenpit. Her lousy skin scabbed here and there by cities provides us with name and nation  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Our doom is, to be sifted by the wind, heaped up, smoothed down like silly sands. We are less permanent than thought  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Prose exists to convey meaning, and no meaning such as prose conveys can be expressed as well in poetry. That’s not poetry’s purpose  (Basil Bunting Quotes) Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own  (Basil Bunting Quotes)
