Edward Hirsch quoteEdward Hirsch [1950-0] American Poet
Quote rank: 321



I've been fascinated over the years by the way refrains work. Think, say, of the refrains in Yeats' ballads. Ideally, each time the refrain comes back in a poem, it is both the same and different. It works by counterpoint and reiteration. It accrues meaning.
