Quotes by Raymond Souster (?)

“Before the lilacs are over and they are only
shrunken stalks at the ends of drooping branches,
I want to write a poem about them and their beauty
brief and star-shining as a young girl’s promise.
Because there is so much made of strength and wealth and power,

because the little things are lost in this world,
I write a poem about lilacs knowing that both
are this day’s only: tomorrow they will lie forgotten.”
― Raymond Souster
