If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.

The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.

One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.

Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer.

The house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace

The reverie we intend to study is poetic reverie. This is a reverie which poetry puts on the right track, the track an expanding consciousness follows. This reverie is written, or, at least, promises to be written. It is already facing the great universe of the blank page. Then images begin to compose and fall into place.

Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.
