Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow

If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.

Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done

Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.

And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you I will show you fear in a handful of dust

The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.

There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
