In the dime stores and bus stations People talk of situations Read books, repeat quotations Draw conclusions on the wall Some speak of the future My love she speaks softly She knows there’s no success like failure And that failure’s no success at all -Bob Dylan, “Love Minus Zero / No Limit” (1965)
Bob DylanMy songs were influenced not so much by poetry on the page but by poetry being recited by the poets who recited poems with jazz bands.
