John Fuller Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: b. January 1, 1937
Birthday: January 1
It is the unspecified 'you' of modern love poems that I am mostly concerned with here. At least, the addressee is commonly a lover, and the very fact that the name is withheld is offered as a guarantee of the closeness and significance of the relationship.
