"There were in the camp a number of Mexican slaves and these ran forth calling out in spanish and were brained or shot and one of the Delawares emerged from the smoke with a naked infant dangling in each hand and squatted at a ring of midden stones and swung them by the heels each in turn and bashed their heads against the stones so that the brains burst forth through the fontanel in a bloody spew and humans on fire came shrieking forth like berserkers and the riders hacked them down with their enormous knives and a young woman ran up and embraced the bloodied forefeet of Glanton's warhorse."

"Write what you know. That should leave you with a lot of free time."
Time

Work
"The historian is terribly responsible to what he can discern are the facts of the case, but he's nothing if he doesn't make out a case."
Fact
"When I was starting to write, the great influence was T.S. Eliot and after that William Butler Yeats."
Influence
"History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It's one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn't live without."
History
"I think there was a revolution in poetry, associated chiefly with Eliot and Pound; but maybe it is of the nature of revolutions or of the nature of history that their innovations should later come to look trivial or indistinguishable from technical tricks."
History
"I liked the kid who wrote me that he had to do a term paper on a modern poet and he was doing me because, though they say you have to read poems twice, he found he could handle mine in one try."
Poems
"Mostly the thought and the verse come inseparably. In my poem Poetics, it's as close as I come to telling how I do it."
Thought
"It may be said that poems are in one way like icebergs: only about a third of their bulk appears above the surface of the page."
Art
"Robert Frost had always said you mustn't think of the last line first, or it's only a fake poem, not a real one. I'm inclined to agree."
