First post here...am urgently trying to learn the author who wrote these two lines, which are almost certainly from a poem -- and almost certainly from a poem written no later than the 1960's:


Thus verse deserves a Temple to be heard
As God a rude camel rides in silence

Anyone have any clues? I already tried numerous search combinations on Google, and I'm already 99.9% sure that it is not from anything by Hart Crane or Richard Wilbur (who were two possibilities I checked thoroughly).

Thank you for your consideration. And if you know of any literary/poetic expert "off-line" please pass this inquiry along.

Have you tried searching poetry sites?
Like www.poemhunter.com for instance?
Maybe there you'll find something about that part...

Yes, I did check poemhunter.com last night -- no luck (again with different combinations, etc.). Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

If anyone has any clues/ideas they would be welcome.
