Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man it has become the amusement and delight of the few.

Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique.

Poetry proceeds from the totality of man, sense, imagination, intellect, love, desire, instinct, blood and spirit together.

And inasmuch as the bridge is a symbol of all such poetry as I am interested in writing it is my present fancy that a year from now I'll be more contented working in an office than ever before.

To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth, but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.
