What Will Survive Of Us

I Am Not Sure, Once A Poet Has Found Out What Has Been Written Already, And How It Was Written - Once, In Short, He Has Learnt His Trade - That He Should Bother With Literature At All. Poetry Is Not Like Surgery, A Technique That Can Be Copied. Every Operation The Poet Performs Is Unique, And Need Never Be Done Again.

Here No Elsewhere Underwrites My Existence.

Things Are Tougher Than We Are, Just As Earth Will Always Respond However We Mess It About.

Everyone Should Be Forcibly Transplanted To Another Continent From Their Family At The Age Of Three.

To Put One Brick Upon Another, Add A Third, And Then A Fourth, Leaves No Time To Wonder Whether What You Do Has Any Worth.
