“I arise from dreams of thee,”

“And the Spring arose on the garden fair,”

“The being called God...bears every mark of a veil woven by philosophical conceit, to hide the ignorance of philosophers even from themselves. They borrow the threads of its texture from the anthropomorphism of the vulgar.”

“Poets are interested primarily in death and commas.”

“I don't feel strong anymore”
