Quote by Wislawa Szymborska
Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus

Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. Thats what writing is all about. – Wislawa Szymborska

Other quotes by Wislawa Szymborska

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms, so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it. – Wislawa Szymborska
