Poetry is a language in which man explores his own amazement.
Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.
Imagination is the wide-open eye which leads us always to see truth more vividly.
Who apart from ourselves, can see any difference between our victories and our defeats?
The skirts of the gods Drag in our mud. We feel the touch And take it to be a kiss.
My trouble is I'm the sort of writer who only finds out what he's getting at by the time he's got to the end of it.
