This seems to me a philosophical question, and therefore irrelevant, question. A poet's destiny is to love.

What we now call "finance" is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.

To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession.

As was the custom in such cases, the pear tree was charged with murder and sentenced to be uprooted and burned.

Genius not only diagnoses the situation but supplies the answers.

I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horrors of sordid passion, and - if he is lucky enough - know the love of an honest woman.

Originally marriage meant the sale of a woman by one man to another; now most women sell themselves though they have no intention of delivering the goods listed in the bill of sale.
