More quotes by Witter Bynner

A man who knows how little he knows is well, a man who knows how much he knows is sick.

I am a miser of my memories of you
And will not spend them.

The core and the surface
Are essentially the same
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder existence opens.
