| Theodore Roethke (1908 - 1963)
|
"O Lord, may I never want to look good. O Jesus, may I always read it all: out loud and the very way it should be. May I never look at the other findings until I have come to my own true conclusions: May I care for the least of the young: and become aware of the one poem that each may have written; may I be aware of what each thing is, delighted with form, and wary of the false comparison; may I never use the word 'brilliant.'"
|
American poet whose verse is characterised by introspection and intense lyricism.
