All poetry is experimental poetry.

Money is a kind of poetry.

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.

I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.

All of our ideas come from the natural world: trees equal umbrellas.

Realism is a corruption of reality.

I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.
