Richard Eberhart Quotes

Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity? Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all? Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?

You would think the fury of aerial bombardment Would rouse God to relent; the infinite spaces Are still silent. He looks on shock-pried faces. History, even, does not know what is meant.

If I could only live at the pitch that is near madness When everything is as it was in my childhood Violent, vivid and of infinite possibility.
