W. S. Merwin Quote

My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.


The Second Four Books of Poems (ed. 1993)


My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.
