Love cannot exorcise the gifts of hate. / Hate cannot exorcize what has no weight, / But laughter we can never over-rate.
May SartonI write poems about relationships, love relationships, and I'm not able to do that all the time. I could go two years without writing poems, and then write a dozen. Having a novel to work on, with the intricate puzzle of character and plot to work out, is satisfying for the time there is no poetry.
May SartonIām only able to write poetry, for the most part, when I have a Muse, a woman who focuses the world for me.
May SartonI have written every poem, every novel, for the same purpose-to find out what I think, to know where I stand.
