Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation

Nothing is quite honest that i...

Nothing is quite honest that is not commercial, but not everything commercial is honest.

Poetry is the renewal of words...

Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that's what a poet is doing: loosening the words.

Life is tons of discipline....

Life is tons of discipline.

Let's get my incantation right:
'I wish I may, I wish I might'
Give earth another satellite.

When clever people ask me wher...

When clever people ask me where
I get a poem, I despair.

Before now poetry has taken no...

Before now poetry has taken notice
Of wars, and what are wars but politics
Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?

We're either nothing or a God'...

We're either nothing or a God's regret.

A name with meaning could brin...

A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents' hands.
Better a meaningless name, I should say,
As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.

The reason artists show so lit...

The reason artists show so little interest
In public freedom is because the freedom
They've come to feel the need of is a kind
No one can give them they can scarce attain
The freedom of their own material....

Scholars and artists thrown to...

Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspectthey differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.

Lord, I have loved Your sky,

Lord, I have loved Your sky,
Be it said against or for me,
Have loved it clear and high,
Or low and stormy....

Yet some say Love by being thr...

Yet some say Love by being thrall
And simply staying possesses all
In several beauty that Thought fares far
To find fused in another star.

Love has earth to which she cl...

Love has earth to which she clings....

There is no love.
There's...

There is no love.
There's only love of men and women, love
Of children, love of friends, of men, of God:
Divine love, human love, parental love,
Roughly discriminated for the rough.

Let those possess the land, an...

Let those possess the land, and only those,
Who love it with a love so strong and stupid
That they may be abused and taken advantage of
And made fun of by business, law, and art....

loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To everything on earth the compass round

A man has got to keep his extrication.
The important thing is not to get bogged down
In what he has to do to earn a living....

Trust him to have his bitter p...

Trust him to have his bitter politics
Against his unacquaintances the rich
Who sleep in houses of their own, though mortgaged.
Conservatives, they don't know what to save.

I see for Nature no defeat

I see for Nature no defeat
In one tree's overthrow
Or for myself in my retreat
For yet another blow.
