Image
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye.

Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.

A poet must never make a statement simply because it sounds poetically exciting he must also believe it to be true. - W. H. Auden A poem...begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness...It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Let cloud shapes swarm, / Let chaos storm, / I wait for form.

It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.
