Quotes: Elizabeth Bishop

"Why shouldn't we, so generally addicted to the gigantic, at last have some small works of art, some short poems, short pieces of music ... some intimate, low-voiced, and delicate things in our mostly huge and roaring, glaring world? 

–– Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979), American poet and short-story writer
