Discover top inspirational quotes from W. D. Snodgrass on Wise Famous Quotes.

You must call up every strength you own
And you can rip off the whole facial mask.

The sleek, expensive girls I teach,
Younger and pinker every year,
Bloom gradually out of reach.

In darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.

I have not learned how often I Can win, can love, but choose to die.

I taught myself to name my name,
To bark back, loosen love and crying;
To ease my woman so she came,
To ease an old man who was dying.

And you, whiner, who wastes your time
Dawdling over the remorseless earth,
What evil, what unspeakable crime
Have you made your life worth?
