“In any case a metaphor does not have to be new: in fact the best ones never can be. They are like the the language of love, as old as the hills and yet fresh with every new lover. The trick of the poet is to make what seemed feeble, old, dead come back to life. True metaphor is a union like love; perhaps, to use another old metaphor: a durable fire / In the mind ever burning; / Never sick, never old, never dead, / From itself never turning." -- This Is Your Brain On Poetry http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrym... - Amira

“…It is the lovers pulling down empty structures. / They wait and touch and watch their dreams / eat the morning.” — Amiri Baraka, American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays, and music criticism, in a poem "Like Rousseau" http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrym... - Amira
