Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
There is no escape from metre; there is only mastery.
Neither way is better. / Both ways are necessary. / It is also necessary / To make a choice between them.
Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
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.
