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

 They carry / Time looped so river-wise about their house / There's no way in by history's road / To name or number them. Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo world.

 War was return of earth to ugly earth, War was foundering of sublimities, Extinction of each happy art and faith By which the world had still kept head in air, Protesting logic or protesting love, Until the unendurable moment struck - The inward scre

 We forget cruelty and past betrayal, Heedless of where the next bright bolt may fall

 A remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really 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.

Merciful as constant, constant as various,
So be mine, as I yours for ever.

 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.

 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.
