I am composed of contradictions, which is why poetry is a better form for me than philosophy

Consolation Calm down. Both your sins and your good deeds will be lost in oblivion.

The purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will.

Human reason is beautiful and invincible. No bars, no barbed wire, no pulping of books, No sentence of banishment can prevail against it. It puts what should be above things as they are. It does not know Jew from Greek nor slave from master.

On the day the world ends A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net.

I am composed of contradictions, which is why poetry is a better form for me than philosophy

Our memory is childish and it saves only what we need.
