Additional quotes by Denise Levertov

To speak of sorrow
works upon it
moves it from its
crouched place barring
the way to and from the soul's hall — out in the light it
shows clear, whether
shrunken or known as
a giant wrath — discrete
at least, where before

its great shadow joined
the walls and roof and seemed
to uphold the hall like a beam.

I am tired of 'the fine art of unhappiness'.

The poet does not use poetry, but is at the service of poetry. To use it is to misuse it.

By dawn he was gone. We have stood here since, in our new life. We have waited. He does not return. - Denise Levertov
