Carl Sandburg
There is an eagle in me that wants to soar.
Carl Sandburg
I am! I have come through! I belong!
Carl Sandburg

Carl Sandburg
Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.
Carl Sandburg
Poetry is a series of explanations of life, fading off into horizons too swift for explanations.
