I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?
Life has a practice of living ...
Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.
The trees are coming into leaf...
The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread, Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No, they die too. Their yearly trick of looking new Is written down in rings of grain. Yet still the unresting castles thresh In fullgrown thickness every May. Last year is dead, they seem to say, Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
Above all, though, children ar...
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
In everyone there sleeps. A se...
In everyone there sleeps. A sense of life lived according to love. To some it means the difference they could make. By loving others, but across most it sweeps. As all they might have done had they been loved. That nothing cures.

Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.

I wouldn't mind seeing China if I could come back the same day.
I can't understand these chaps...
I can't understand these chaps who go round American universities explaining how they write poems: It's like going round explaining how you sleep with your wife.

As a child, I thought I hated everybody, but when I grew up I realized it was just children I didn't like.

What are days for? Days are where we live. They come, they wake us Time and time over. Theyare to be happy in: Where can we live but days?
Beneath it all, desire of obli...
Beneath it all, desire of oblivion runs:
Despite the artful tensions of the calendar,
The life insurance, the tabled fertility rites,
The costly aversion of the eyes from death-
Beneath it all, desire of oblivion runs.

As a guiding principle I believe that every poem must be its own sole freshly created universe, and therefore have no belief n 'tradition' or a common myth-kitty or casual allusions in poems to other poems or poets, which last I find unpleasantly like the talk of literary understrappers letting you see they know the right people.
Poetry should begin with emoti...
Poetry should begin with emotion in the poet, and end with the same emotion in the reader. The poem is simply the instrument of transferance

Novels are about other people and poems are about yourself

The only way to eliminate unemployment is to eliminate unemployment benefits.

You have to distinguish between things that seemed odd when they were new but are now quite familiar, such as Ibsen and Wagner, and things that seemed crazy when they were new and seem crazy now, like 'Finnegans Wake' and Picasso.

I listen to money singing, it's like looking down from long French windows at a provincial town. The slums, the canal, the churches ornate and mad in the evening sun. It is intensely sad...
