Additional quotes by Peter Porter

Redeemers always reach the world too late.
God dies, we live; God lives, we die. Our fate.

Somewhere at the heart
of the universe sounds the
true mystic note: Me.

Language of the liberal dead speaks
From the soil of Highgate, tears
Show a great water table is intact.
You cannot leave England, it turns
A planet majestically in the mind.
