War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
Love is most nearly itself When here and now cease to matter.

The destination cannot be described; / You will know very little until you get there; / You will journey blind.
