In the swirl of its pool
the home-coming salmon
has no intuition
of anything changed.

More quotes by Andrew Motion

Poets know their own poems in a way and to a depth that is unique.. even if they mumble a bit ..their delivery will still have important things to tell us.

By day the appalling loose beauty
of prowling floes:
lions’ heads, dragons, crucifix-wrecks,
and a thing like a blown rose.
