“and before i could argue him”

“i have had my ups and downs”

“a spider and a fly”

“Historical sense and poetic sense should not, in the end, be contradictory, for if poetry is the little myth we make, history is the big myth we live, and in our living, constantly remake.”

“Many have referred to [Lewis] Carroll's rhymes as nonsense, but in my childhood world — Los Angeles in the '50s — they made perfect sense.”

“I sometimes hold it half a sin”

“Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.”

“some men never”

“Poetry is an orphan of silence.”
