Frases de John Ashbery

John Ashbery [1]​ fue un poeta, escritor, profesor universitario y periodista estadounidense, considerado el máximo exponente de la Escuela de Nueva York. Fue el poeta más importante de su nación hasta su muerte, así como el autor de poesía lírica más vendido en los Estados Unidos. El crítico Langdon Hammer, de la Universidad de Yale, escribió en 2008: «No hay figura tan grande en la poesía estadounidense en los últimos 50 años como John Ashbery» y «ningún poeta estadounidense ha tenido un vocabulario más amplio, más diverso, ni Whitman, ni Pound». Stephen Burt, un poeta y profesor de Harvard, ha comparado a Ashbery con T. S. Eliot, llamándole «la última figura viva de la que la mitad de los poetas en idioma inglés piensan que es un gran modelo y la otra mitad lo cree incomprensible». Wikipedia

John Ashbery: Frases en inglés

“In the increasingly convincing darkness
The words become palpable, like a fruit
That is too beautiful to eat.”

John Ashbery

“It didn’t pay very much, but it enabled me to get other jobs doing art criticism, which I didn’t want to do very much, but as so often when you exhibit reluctance to do something, people think you must be very good at it. If I had set out to be an art critic, I might never have succeeded.”

“Most reckless things are beautiful in some way, and recklessness is what makes experimental art beautiful, just as religions are beautiful because of the strong possibilities that they are founded on nothing.”

“How many people came and stayed a certain time,
Uttered light or dark speech that became part of you
Like light behind windblown fog and sand
Filtered and influenced by it, until no part
Remains that is surely you.”

In response to the question "Why do you call yourself anti-art?," Bard College, 2005

International Herald Tribune (Paris, October 2, 1989) The Columbia World of Quotations, 1996. http://www.bartleby.com/66/78/4378.html

“In the beginning there are those who don't quite fit in
But are somehow okay. And then some morning
There are places that suddenly seem wonderful:
Weather and water seem wonderful,
And the peaceful night sky that arrives
In time to protect us, like a sword
Cutting the blue cloak of a prince.”

"A Snowball in Hell"
Fuente: April Galleons (1987)

“Well, there are certain stock words that I have found myself using a great deal. When I become aware of them, it is an alarm signal meaning I am falling back on something that has served in the past—it is a sign of not thinking at the present moment, not that there is anything intrinsically bad about certain words or phrases.”

“Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?”
