Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

The only way out is through.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?

No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

The best thing we're put here for's to see; The strongest thing that's given us to see with's a telescope. Someone in every town, seems to me, owes it to the town to keep one.

One aged man - one man - can't fill a house.
