The reading of a poem should be an experience. Its writing must be all the more so.
A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.
Fromage and coffee and cognac and no gods.
How full of trifles everything is! It is only one's thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture.
We have been a little insane about the truth. We have had an obsession.
Imagination is the will of things. . . .
