Kenneth Patchen 1911-1972

"Now is then's only tomorrow." -Kenneth Patchen

"Think enough and you won't know anything." -Kenneth Patchen

“There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death.” -Kenneth Patchen

"This room has mystery like a trance Of wine ; forget-me-nots of you Are chair and couch, the books your Fingers touched. And now that you Are absent here the silence scrapes A secret rust from everything; While sudden wreaths of sorrow"s Dust uncover emptiness like halls To stumble through, and terror falls." -Kenneth Patchen
