American poetry has been part of a culture in conflict....We are a people tending toward democracy at the level of hope; at another level, the economy of the nation, the empire of business within the republic, both include in their basic premise the idea of perpetual warfare

Beware of those who talk about sacrifice.
I am working out the vocabulary of my silence.
My lifetime listens to yours.
Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all things are blest.
