A poem is like a score for the human voice.
And I never believed that the multitude / of dreams and many words were vain.
In writing poetry, all of one's attention is focused on some inner voice.
People who read poetry have heard about the burning bush, but when you write poetry, you sit inside the burning bush.
While all bodies share the same fate, all voices do not.
I don't mind suffering as long as it's really about something. I don't mind great luck, if it's about something. If it's the hollow stuff, then there's no gift, one way or the other.
