I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks, to do what they were most afraid of doing, to widen their horizons of action.

Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.

Ultimately I have learned more about poetry, from music and magic than from literature.

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing.

Life's major challenge: getting reborn often enough.
