God give you pardon from gratitude and other mild forms of servitude.

I don’t think any man writing can worry about what the act of writing costs him, even though at times he is very aware of it.
Robert Creeley

Writing is the same as music. It’s in how you phrase it, how you hold back the note, bend it, shape it, then release it. And what you don’t play is as important as what you do say.
Robert Creeley
Image
Moon, moon, when you leave me alone all the darkness is an utter blackness, a pit of fear, a stench, hands unreasonable never to touch. But I love you. Do you love me. What to say when you see me.

Robert Creeley
Image
Oh well, I will say here, knowing each man, let you find a good wife too, and love her as hard as you can.
Robert Creeley
Image
There are a lot of editorials that have nothing to do with anything like that. But I was just thinking of that sense of prose as being very responsible and perceptive, thoughtful, intimate, and contriving a quote statement.
Robert Creeley
Image
Suddenly the whole imagination of writing and editorial and newspaper and all these presumptions about who am I reading this, and who else other people may be, and all that, it's so grimly brutal!
Robert Creeley

For love - I would split open your head and put a candle in behind the eyes.
