Watch yourself all your life in a mirror and you'll see Death at work like bees in a glass hive.

Poetry, being elegance itself, cannot hope to achieve visibility... It insists on living its own life.

My method is simple: not to bother about poetry. It must come of its own accord. Merely whispering its name drives it away.
