Who, except the poets, reads poetry?

Poetry is the fiery index to the genius of the age.

The poet, like the lover, is a person unable to reconcile what he knows with what he feels. His peculiarity is that he is under a certain compulsion to do so.

Poetry is important. No less than science, it seeks a hold upon reality, and the closeness of its approach is the test of its success.

Music proposes. Sound disposes.

There is no end to grief. Nor no end to poetry.
