Additional quotes by William Empson

It is this deep blankness is the real thing strange.
The more things happen to you the more you can't
Tell or remember even what they were. The contradictions cover such a range.
The talk would talk and go so far aslant.
You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there.

Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills.
It is not the effort nor the failure tires.
The waste remains, the waste remains and kills.

Not to have fire is to be a skin that shrills.

There is a supreme God in the ethnological section; ... </br> His smooth wood creeps with all the creeds of the world. - William Empson
