Quote by Alok Mishra

“Poetry is frequently introduced as an object of dissection rather than an experience of encounter. Students are trained to hunt for metaphors, symbols, and devices before they are allowed to feel the poem. This premature intellectualisation breeds anxiety rather than appreciation.”

“Търпението не означава да стискаш зъби и да не правиш нищо. То означава да си достатъчно прозорлив, за да се довериш на крайния резултат от процеса. Какво означава търпението? То означава да гледаш бодлите и да виждаш розата, да гледаш нощта и да виждаш зората. Нетърпението означава да си толкова късоглед, че да не виждаш резултата. Който обича Бог, остава търпелив, понеже знае, че се иска време непълната луна да стане пълна.”

“It is a kind of love, is it not? How the cup holds the tea, How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare, How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes Or toes. How soles of feet know Where they're supposed to be. I've been thinking about the patience Of ordinary things, how clothes Wait respectfully in closets And soap dries quietly in the dish, And towels drink the wet From the skin of the back. And the lovely repetition of stairs. And what is more generous than a window?”
