A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.

The reading of a poem should be an experience. Its writing must be all the more so.

It must be this rhapsody or none, The rhapsody of things as they are.

The exceeding brightness of this early sun Makes me conceive how dark I have become.

I am one of you and being one of you is being and knowing what I am and know. Yet I am the necessary Angel of earth, since, in my sight, you see the earth again.

We say God and the imagination are one... How high that highest candle lights the dark.

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