RANDALL JARRELL
American poet
(1914 - 1965)

I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry.
      - [Poetry]

If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.
      - [Politicians]

I see you, now that you aren't here. Before
  You were and I saw nothing. I shut my eyes.
      - A Summer Night [Loneliness]

It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life.
      - Pictures from an Institution
         (pt. I, ch. 4) [Ideas]
