Poetry is a peerless proficiency of the imagination.
If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.
he who gives quickly gives twice / in nothing so much as in a letter.
The power of the visible is the invisible.
Poetry, that is to say the poetic, is a primal necessity.
In a poem the excitement has to maintain itself. I am governed by the pull of the sentence as the pull of a fabric is governed by gravity.
