Quote

No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.

There are no poetic ideas; only poetic utterances.

The sound of water is worth more than all the poets' words.

Poems seem to have a life of their own. They tell you when enough is enough.

Poetry must be made by all and not by one.

Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself.

So many poems you go into and come up empty.

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.

The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest.

Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
