More quotes by Earle Birney
Through the cold time she holds me with evergreen devotion she bears up my whiteness.
Earle Birney
Mature art, I think, emerges when there's a certain balance of tensions, when there's neither neurotic prostration nor cold rationality, but an aura of energy and a drive to grasp personal truths still emerging into perception. To grasp and to shape them.
Earle Birney
It is not easy to free myth from reality or rear this fellow up to lutch, lurch with them in the tranced dancing of men.
