"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom."

"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice."

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."

"I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering."

"You come too. My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make. It was no dream of the gift of idle hours, Or easy gold at the hand of king or queen Or anything but what one's hands can make."
