Additional quotes by Thom Gunn

Direct me gods, whose changes are all holy,
To where it flickers deep in grass, the moly.

Distorting hackneyed words in hackneyed songs
He turns revolt into a style, prolongs The impulse to a habit of the time.

One joins the movement in a valueless world,
Choosing it, till both hurler and the hurled,
One moves as well, always toward, toward.
