"Only silence perfects silence."
Silence
"I am grateful for - though I can't keep up with - the flood of articles, theses, and textbooks that mean to share insight concerning the nature of poetry."
Nature
"I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change."

Time

Poetry

Reading
"You have your identity when you find out, not what you can keep your mind on, but what you can't keep your mind off."
