"Poetry is a passion, not a habit."
"If each of us is a biological mechanism, each poet is a poetic mechanism."
"The poet, in moments of exceptional concentration, sometimes experiences an automatism in which the poem writes itself."
"Ideas of real force don't occur to one every day. Besides, I want my poetry to grow out of something more than my inkwell."
"Every poem is a poem within a poem: the poem of the idea within the poem of the words."
"Words are thoughts and not only our own thoughts but the thoughts of men and women ignorant of what it is that they are thinking."
"Poetry is the subject of the poem."
"When we find in poetry that which gives us a momentary existence on an exquisite plane, is it necessary to ask the meaning of the poem?"
