What should I say about life That it's long and abhors transparence.
More Quotes from Joseph Brodsky:
Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.Joseph Brodsky
Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.
Joseph Brodsky
In the works of the better poets you get the sensation that they're not talking to people any more, or to some seraphical creature. What they're doing is simply talking back to the language itself --as beauty, sensuality, wisdom, irony --those aspects of language of which the poet is a clear mirror. Poetry is not an art or a branch of art, it's something more. If what distinguishes us from other species is speech, then poetry, which is the supreme linguistic operation, is our anthropological, indeed genetic, goal. Anyone who regards poetry as an entertainment, as a ''read,'' commits an anthropological crime, in the first place, against himself.
