Additional quotes by Geoffrey Hill

The idea that the intellect is somehow alien to sensuousness, or vice versa, is one that I have never been able to connect with. I can accept that it is a prevalent belief, but it seems to me, nonetheless, a false notion.

"One cannot lose what one has not possessed."
So much for that abrasive gem.
I can lose what I want. I want you.

I have learned one thing: not to look down
Too much upon the damned.
