You mustnt forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.

I never joined the army for patriotic reasons.

The darkness crumbles away It is the same old druid Time as ever.

I will not leave a corner of my consciousness covered up, but saturate myself with the strange and extraordinary new conditions of this life, and it will all refine itself into poetry later on.

I wanted to write a battle song for the Judeans but so far I can think of nothing noble and weighty enough

I cant look at things in the simple, large way that great poets do.

You mustnt forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.
