More from Allen Ginsberg
"I am a mystery, and I am a secret, and I am a riddle, and I am a paradox, and I am a contradiction, and I am a truth."
"Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets & eyes, while I walk on"
"The world knows the love that's in its breast as in the flower, the suffering lonely world."
"To be a poet in a time of great stress, you have to be a prophet."
"Love is key to an exciting life and the moment you leave the world of love, you lose the best life."
About Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997)
American Beat poet whose Howl (1956) faced an obscenity trial and became a counterculture manifesto. Closely associated with Jack Kerouac (Beat novelist, On the Road) and William S. Burroughs (fellow Beat, Naked Lunch). For an intellectual contrast, see T.S. Eliot, high-modernist poet of The Waste Land — Ginsberg's open-line confessional Beat verse was a deliberate rejection of Eliot's allusive academic formalism — the two halves of mid-century American poetry.
