To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone.
You, of course, are a rose-- But were always a rose.
I have miles to go before I sleep.
For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew. I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew.
