More quotes by Harriet Monroe

Image
Look into thy heart and write! is good advice, but not if interpreted to mean, Look nowhere else! The poet should know his world and, so far as his art is concerned, any kind of battering from his world is better than his own self-indulgent brooding.
Harriet Monroe

Our little solos are a note in an immense chorus vibrating grandly through the universe, a chorus which accepts and harmonizes the whir of the cricket and the long drum-roll of the stars.
