The player envies only the player, the poet envies only the poet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.
A poet is never one of the people. He is detached, remote, and the life of small-time dances and talk about football would not be for him. He might take part but could not belong.
The moment of change is the only poem.
Poetry is necessary, but is the poet?
Only the poet can look beyond the detail and see the whole picture.
The importance of poetry is not measured, finally, by what the poet says but by how he says it.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
One can't write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don't like poetry.
The poet must decide not to impose his feelings in order to write without sentimentality.
All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.
