If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.

The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.

Poetry is one of the destinies of speech... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.

There is no original truth, only original error.
