Miller Williams Quotes

• Ten compasión de todos los que conozcas, aunque no la quieran. Lo que parece engreimiento, mala educación o cinismo es señal de cosas que ni oídos han oído, ni ojos han visto. No sabes qué guerras se están librando ahí abajo, donde el espíritu se encuentra con el hueso.

• Too many poets write poems which are only difficult on the surface, difficult because the dramatic situation is easily misunderstood. It's not difficult to write poems that are misunderstood. A drunk, a three-year-old-they are easily misunderstood. What is difficult is being clear and mysterious at the same time. The dramatic situation needs to be as clear in a poem as it is in a piece of good journalism. The why is part of the mystery, but the who, what, where, and when should all be understood.
