through

All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.

Pundits talk about 'populist rage' as a way to trivialize the anger and fear coursing through the middle class.

If you read quickly to get through a poem to what it means, you have missed the body of the poem.

I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics, and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.

Sound had always been my portal to poetry, but in the beginning, sound was imagined through the eye.

I was apprehensive. I feared every time I talked about poetry, it would be filtered through the lens of race, sex, and age.

Anticipating that most poetry will be worse than carrying heavy luggage through O'Hare Airport, the public, to its loss, reads very little of it.

Poetry involves the mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words.

Poetry comes alive to me through recitation.

Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.

Those who are truly contemporary are those who neither perfectly coincide with their time nor adapt to its demands... Contemporariness, then, is that relationship with time that adheres to it through a disconnection.

I went through a stage of writing my cramped hand in tiny books. My two sisters and I did have our Bronte period. My mum is from Yorkshire, and we would go up to the Moors. It tapped into our romantic visions of ourselves.

I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

A little credulity helps one on through life very smoothly.

Don't go through life, grow through life.

We pass through this world but once.

Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
