Light Quotes

Whoever lives for poetry must read everything. How often has the light of a new idea sprung for me from a simple brochure!

The old age comes to live again in the new. Poetry is never as unified as when it diversifies.

It's the word 'artful'; it's such a great word, with its dark and its light side, its art and its cunning, the craft and the crafty of it - I've been preoccupied with the word 'artful' and the twin notions of 'cornucopia' and 'pickpocket' it suggests for quite some time.
