1930? - 1955


"The poet seems to confer his identity on the reader.  It is easiest to recognize this when listening to music---I mean this sort of thing: the transference."

"Which is correct: whether, if I respect my ancestors I am bound to respect myself or if I respect myself I am bound to respect my ancestors?"

"The reading of a poem should be an experience.  Its writing must be all the more so."

"A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have."
