It means abandoning being a poet, abandoning your careerism, abandoning even the idea of writing any poetry, really abandoning, giving up as hopeless - abandoning the possibility of really expressing yourself to the nations of the world. Abandoning the idea of being a prophet with honor and dignity, and abandoning the glory of poetry and just settling down in the muck of your own mindYou really have to make a resolution to write for yourself, in the sense of not writing to impress yourself, but just writing what your self is saying.

I know too much and not enough

I learned a world from each / one whom I loved

Things are symbols of themselves.

I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying.

First thoughts are the strongest.

You can't photograph everything.
