More quotes by Randall Jarrell
One Whitman is miracle enough, and when he comes again it will be the end of the world.
The people who live in a Golden Age usually go around complaining how yellow everything looks.
Human life without some form of poetry is not human life but animal existence.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
