No poem is easily grasped so why should any reader expect fast results?

Poetry: the best words in the best order.

Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry.

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

Every single soul is a poem.

A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.

Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.

The moment of change is the only poem.

To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes to hear it is to see it with our ears.
