Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
Your whole duty as a writer is to please and satisfy yourself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one. Start sniffing the air, or glancing at the Trend Machine, and you are as good as dead, although you may make a nice living.
I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
