Paint, not the thing but the effect which it produces.

You don't make a poem with ideas, but with words.

To define is to kill. To suggest is to create.

Everything in the world exists in order to end up as a book.

There is only beauty / and it has only one perfect expression / poetry. All the rest is a lie /except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship. For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.

The world exists to end up in a book.

Every soul is a melody which needs renewing.
