"Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves."
"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."
"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom."
