I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.

I am hard to disgust, but a pretentious poet can do it

The sweet air coming into your house on a fine day, from water etched with waves as formal as the scales on a fish.

The passion for setting people right is in itself an afflictive disease.

Poetry is all nouns and verbs.

Originality is... a by-product of sincerity.

We are suffering from too much sarcasm.
