“After the first glass of vodka
you can accept just about anything
of life even your own mysteriousness
you think it is nice that a box
of matches is purple and brown and is called La Petite and comes from Sweden
for they are words that you know and that is all you know words not their feelings or what they mean and you write because you know them not because you understand them because you don't you are stupid and lazy and will never be great but you do what you know because what else is there?”
― Frank O'Hara, The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

“Were knowledge all, what were our need
To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?”
― Christopher Brennan

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
