To have nothing to say and to say it in a tragic manner is not the same thing as having something to say. — Wallace Stevens

To see the gods dispelled in mid-air and dissolve like clouds is one of the great human experiences. It is not as if they had gone over the horizon to disappear for a time; nor as if they had been overcome by other gods of greater power and profounder knowledge. It is simply that they came to nothing.

A poem should be a part of one's sense of life.

Poetry is a search for the inexplicable.
