The ambition of much of today's literary theory seems to be to find ways to read literature without imagination.
Poetry is an orphan of silence.
If the sky falls they shall have clouds for supper.
I'm not a stickler for truth. To me, lying in poetry is much more fun. I'm against lying in life, in principle, in any other activity except poetry.
To submit to chance is to reveal the self and its obsessions.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
