Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra, and somehow prose can go over into poetry.

Nature has different times.

The Greek sculptor - I don't think he was very different from any of us.

Beethoven suppressed everything, his personal life disappeared until he was locked inside. That is a figure quite extreme.

Public notice does not necessarily accord with internal fulfilment.

Characters are an extreme form in Shakespeare's theater.

I've seldom become nostalgic or settled.
