Blank

James Fenton Quote: “The iambic pentameter owes its pre-eminence…”

The iambic pentameter owes its pre-eminence in English poetry to its genius for variation. Good blank verse does not sound like a series of identically measured lines. It sounds like a series of subtle variations on the same theme.

A. R. Ammons Quote: “Definition, rationality, and structure are ways…”

Definition, rationality, and structure are ways of seeing, but they become prisons when they blank out other ways of seeing.
