Gardening is an instrument of grace.
poetry is first of all a way of life and only secondarily a way of writing.
I have written every poem, every novel, for the same purpose-to find out what I think, to know where I stand.
About loving, I have little to learn from the young.
Do I think there's life after death? No, I think my books are my life after death.
letters are so much easier than living. One can give one's best.
