Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012 QUOTES

1 " I saw the angels lifted like pale straws;
I could not stand before those winnowing eyes.
And fell, until I found the world again.
Now I lack grace to tell what I have seen;
For though the head frames words the tongue has none.
And who will prove the surgeon to this stone? "

― Geoffrey Hill , Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012

2 " If we meet each other in hell, it's not hell. "
