"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

"However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it."
Literature
"In the past I have declined to comment on my own work: because, it seems to me, a poem is what it is; because a poem is itself a definition, and to try to redefine it is to be apt to falsify it; and because the author is the person least able to consider his work objectively."
Work
"It is always pleasant to learn that someone takes an interest in a work which one enjoyed writing."
Work
"The aim of the poet, or other artist, is first to make something; and it's impossible to make something out of words and not communicate."

"To change your phrase somewhat, I know that I like an art where disparate elements form an entity."
Art
"However, intention needn't enter in, and if a reader sees things in a religious way, and the work is dogmatically acceptable, then I don't see why it should not be interpreted in that way, as well as in others."
Work
"Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself."
Poetry
"I do not usually revise much, though I often cut, particularly the end or toward the end of a poem."
Writing
"It seems to me that readers sometimes make the genesis of a poem more mysterious than it is (by that I perhaps mean, think of it as something outside their own experience)."
