"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." "I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite."
