Imagination is the will of things. . . .

All poetry is experimental poetry.

I still feel the need of some imperishable bliss.

The poet's function is to make his imagination . . . become the light in the mind of others. His role, in short, is to help people to live their lives.

In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.

To a large extent, the problems of poets are the problems of painters, and poets must often turn to the literature of painting for a discussion of their own problems.

I am the angel of Reality, Seen for a moment standing in the door.
