I try to forget what happiness was, and when that don't work, I study the stars.

The thing that is believed is a reality.

I have never separated the writing of poetry from prayer. I have grown up believing it is a vocation, a religious vocation.

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome.

The truth is that the poems are ecstatic.

The poem is itself a mirror.

When you get a class reciting some great poems, it'll tear your heart out.
