For intellect is a mansion where waste is without drain.

A poem may be an instance of morality, of social conditions, of psychological history; it may instance all its qualities, but never one of them alone, nor any two or three; never less than all.

The mission for the day is to encourage students to think beyond traditional career opportunities, prepare for future careers and entrance into the workplace.

Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.

How does one happen to write a poem: where does it come from? That is the question asked by the psychologists or the geneticists of poetry.

For some reason most critics have a hard time fixing their minds directly under their noses, and before they see the object that is there they use a telescope upon the horizon to see where it came from.

Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.
