The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry prophecy and religion all in one.
Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact than the richest...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
And it is very sexy as well: somebody says I'm taking you on a surprise date you don't know where you are going and you can't see and then you put your hand out and there is a tiger. Amazing.
