Three Quotes On Writing
- A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.
- Don’t be too harsh to these poems until they’re typed. I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty: at least, if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.
- Go on thinking that you don’t need to be read and you’ll find that it may become quite true: no one will feel the need to read it because it is written for yourself alone; and the public won’t feel any impulse to gate crash such a private party.
Quotes
- Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Though lovers be lost, love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.
- Somebody’s boring me. I think it’s me.
