Berryman, John quotes
1914-1972 American PoetLife, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover my mother told me as a boy (repeatedly) Ever to confess you re bored means you have no inner Resources. I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Berryman, John
