The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.

It is not my purpose as a poet to condemn war (or to be exact, modern warfare). I only wish to present the universal aspects of a particular event.

You might think that it would he the natural desire of every man to develop as an independent personality, but this does not seem to be true.

Poetry is creative expression; Prose is constructive expression... by creative I mean original. In Poetry the words are born or reborn in the act of thinking... There is no time interval between the words and the thought when a real poet writes, both of them happen together, and both the thought and the word are Poetry.

Morality, as has often been pointed out, is antecedent to religion-it even exists in a rudimentary form among animals.

Perhaps it is this theory of all work and no play that has made the Marxist such a very dull boy.

Freud has shown one thing very clearly: that we only forget our infancy by burying it in the unconscious; and that the problems of this difficult period find their solution under a disguised form in adult life.
