Afraid lest he be caught up in a net of words, tripped up, bewildered and so defeated-thrown aside-a man hesitates to write down his innermost convictions.
William Carlos Williams
Love is unworldly and nothing comes of it but love.
William Carlos Williams
When I am alone I am happy.

Minds like beds always made up (more stony than a shore) unwilling or unable.
