Nature is the common, universal language, understood by all.

It was not the purpose of poetry to record anything and everything, to merely describe either the outer world or some subjective mood, but to speak from the imagination of the poet to the imagination of the reader.

Nature is the common, universal language, understood by all.

Meanings, moods, the whole scale of our inner experience, finds in nature the 'correspondences' through which we may know our boundless selves.

Being a poet is not a job or a profession but a way of life.

... the poem reminds us of what we ourselves know, but did not know we knew; reminds us, above all, of what we are.

The work of the artist is to heal the soul.
