![“George Oppen is a tough old bird. If you've never seen what [he] sees, it's because you haven't sat still long enough and looked as he has. The things he sees feel like the gnarled bark of a tree. The tree is there too. You can put your weight against it. It won't give.” quote by Carl Rakosi](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d47/carl-rakosi-64518_quote_george-oppen-is-a-tough-old-bird-if-you_2034366.jpg)
