Poems sayings about freedom, escape?

Question

I'm trying to find quotes, sayings, or poems about escape and freedom. I'm painting a mural type thing in my room with a bird flying from a cage and I want some good text to go with it

Answer 1

did you say that your only freedom from pain is death?

  



  sad indeed,

there are other freedoms

still

freedom from having no ideas, from this dryness,

freedom from having you

as a poet on forced wit and half-cooked cleverness

freedom from a reader

who has nothing to offer

except his own loneliness

his having nothing to do

freedom from being bored

to death

freedom from having nothing

to say and comment

freedom from this feeling of emptiness

this bigotry

this indigestion of dumb thoughts

freedom

from impertinence, immateriality, irrelevance,

freedom from thinking about freedom

freedom from freedom itself

there are more

freedom from pain

is useless now

that you are dead.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.

Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
