“The grave's a fine and private place,”

“Had we but world enough, and time”

“But at my back I always hear”

“Balm of the summer night, balm of the ordinary,”

“Those moments before a poem comes, when the heightened awareness comes over you, and you realize a poem is buried there somewhere, you prepare yourself. I run around, you know, kind of skipping around the house, marvelous elation. It’s as though I could fly.”

“Pleasured equally”

“Dear to me is sleep: still more, being made of stone,”

“Laugh, and the world laughs with you;”

“Even the most political poem is an act of faith.”
