Poetry is to hold judgment on your soul.
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately; but right it has not.
Really to sin you have to be serious about it.
It is no use lying to one's self.
Rob the average man of his life-illusion, and you rob him of his happiness at the same stroke.
