When I was from Cupid's passions free, my Muse was mute and wrote no elegy. - Ovid
Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach. - Leonard Cohen
A word is elegy to what it signifies. - Robert Haas
