Poetry is a reaching out forward expression, an effort to find fulfillment

I came from a very intellectual neighborhood. When we played cowboys and Indians as kids, I had to be Gandhi.

I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.

Lovers, forget your love And list to the love of these She a window flower And he a winter breeze.

Freedom is when you are easy in the harness.

Men work together, whether they work together or apart.
