Lovers to-day and for all time Preserve the meaning of my rhyme: Love is not kindly nor yet grim But does to you as you to him.

Nine-tenths of English poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties.

What we now call "finance" is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.

No honest theologian therefore can deny that his acceptance of Jesus as Christ logically binds every Christian to a belief in reincarnation - in Elias case (who was later John the Baptist) at least.

There's a cool web of language winds us in, Retreat from too much joy or too much fear: We grow sea-green at last and coldly die In brininess and volubility.

For I now realize that what overcame me that evening was a sudden awareness of the power of intuition, the supra-logic that cuts out all routine processes of thought and leaps straight from problem to answer.

If I were a young man With my bones full of marrow, Oh, if I were a bold young man Straight as an arrow, I'd store up no virtue For Heaven's distant plain, I'd live at ease as I did please And sin once again.

Every fairy child may keep Two strong ponies and ten sheep; All have houses, each his own, Built of brick or granite stone; They live on cherries, they run wild I'd love to be a Fairy's child.

There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either.

What we now call 'finance' is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.

If there's no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.

The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good.

A well chosen anthology is a complete dispensary of medicine for the more common mental disorders, and may be used as much for prevention as cure.

Robert Graves 120 quotes

One gets to the heart of the matter by a series of experiences in the same pattern, but in different colors.

If I were a girl, I'd despair. The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them.

In love as in sport, the amateur status must be strictly maintained.

Robert Graves 120 quotes

Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time.

To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession.

Originally marriage meant the sale of a woman by one man to another; now most women sell themselves though they have no intention of delivering the goods listed in the bill of sale.

This seems to me a philosophical question, and therefore irrelevant, question. A poet's destiny is to love.
