Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.

You shall above all things be glad and young.

O sweet spontaneous earth

may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living whatever they sing is better than to know and if men should not hear them men are old may my mind stroll about hungry and fearless and thirsty and supple and even if it's sunday may i be wrong for whenever men are right they are not young and may myself do nothing usefully and love yourself so more than truly there's never been quite such a fool who could fail pulling all the sky over him with one smile

My advice to all young people who wish to become poets is: do something easy, like learning how to blow up the world - unless you're not only willing, but glad, to feel and work and fight till you die.

our can'ts were born to happen our mosts have died in more

If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little - somebody who is obsessed by Making.
