In my beginning is my end.

The True Church can never fail. For it is based upon a rock.

I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river Is a strong brown god-sullen, untamed and intractable.

No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.

It's harder to confess the sin that no one believes in Than the crime that everyone can appreciate. For the crime is in relation to the law And the sin is in relation to the sinner.

Poets in our civilization, as it exists at present, must be difficult...The poet must become more and more comprehensive, more allusive, more indirect, in order to force, to dislocate if necessary, language into its meaning.

Past art is subject to change.
