What's Poetry if it isn't something that has to fight for the unseen against the seen, for the dead against the living, for the mysterious against the obvious? Poetry always takes sides. It's the only Lost Cause we've got left! It fights for the... for the... for the Impossible!

John Cowper Powys
Quote of the day
Give us that grand word 'woman' once again, And let's have done with 'lady'; one's a term Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; And one's a word for lackeys.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
