“And all at once the heavy night”

“Oh, friend, forget not, when you fain would note”

“Life must go on; I forget just why.”

“Listen, children:”

“Now goes under, and I watch it go under, the sun”

“After all, my erstwhile dear,”

“Every word was once a poem.”

“Dear, I can't write, it's all a fantasy: a kind of circling obsession.”

“Only in Russia poetry is respected--it gets people killed.”

“Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,”

“for we all have”

“The mimicry of passion is the most intolerable of all poses.”
