Poetry

"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."

"Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart."

"I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean."

"We love the things we love for what they are."

"At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."

"Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand."

"Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history."

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhereI go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is youhere is the deepest secret nobody knows(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which growshigher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apartI carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)"

"Dare to love yourselfas if you were a rainbowwith gold at both ends."

"Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."

"I am no longer in love with her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long."

"Love one another, but make not a bond of love:Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."
