It is part of the poet's work to show each man what he sees but does not know he sees.

Hot water is my native element. I was in it as a baby, and I have never seemed to get out of it ever since.

I have taken this step because I want the discipline, the fire and the authority of the Church. I am hopelessly unworthy of it, but I hope to become worthy.

Poetry ennobles the heart and the eyes, and unveils the meaning of all things upon which the heart and the eyes dwell. It discovers the secret rays of the universe, and restores to us forgotten paradises.

My poems are hymns of praise to the glory of life.

If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekingese?

the arts are life accelerated and concentrated.
