It is a part of the poet's work to show each man what he sees but does not know he sees

I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the highest flights of art

I'm not the man to balk at a low smell, I not the man to insist on asphodel. This sounds like a He-fellow, don't you think? It sounds like that. I belch, I bawl, I drink.

The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
