"The irony of our social group is that so often everyone feels this, but there's no company whatsoever in that feeling. Think of Pound's great emphasis, the way out is via the door"

About this Quote

The quote by Robert Creeley speaks with the irony of our social group. It is ironic that so frequently everybody feels the exact same method, yet there is no one to share that feeling with. This is where Pound's terrific emphasis comes in. He suggests that the only method to escape this feeling of solitude is to act and go through the door. This is a metaphor for acting and making a modification in our lives. It is a pointer that we can't simply relax and wait for things to alter, we have to take the initiative and make the modification ourselves. This quote talks to the power of acting and making a modification in our lives, even if it is a small one. It is a pointer that we can't simply sit around and wait for things to alter, we have to take the effort and make the change ourselves.
