The expression "In Dreams Begin Responsibilities" is a favorite among literary intellectuals and shows up in unexpected places (i.e. the movie Deep Cover). I don't see the connection. Blatantly Evil 19:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the erroneous revert - I misread... Dysprosia 09:41, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

No one has mentioned that the famous phrase was lifted by Schwartz from Yeats. Does anyone know which poem is the source. I seem to have forgotten. Ganev 15:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] schwartz's socialism

This is the first time I have ever seem schwartz connected to socialism and irving howe. It is entirely possible, but there is no reference to this in james atlas's biography. Also, why the final and emphatic emphasis on schwartz's influence on lou reed? Why not emphasize his specifically literary and poetic influence, i.e., on innumerable poets in the u.s., not just rock lyricist reed? I think reed may be exaggerating the connection with schwartz. Note: I am the co-editor of Schwartz's Selected Essays, 1970, U. of Chicago P. 69.182.108.234 18:39, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] First Paragraph

Does the title "In Dreams Begin Responsibilites" have to appear four times in the first paragraph? Isn't there a better way to phrase it? And does each iteration have to be made into a link even though they all lead to the same page? AshcroftIleum 22:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct, methinks. I will try to offer a decent alternative.The Gnome 16:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
