For once touched by love, everyone becomes a poet

but all of a sudden they’re poets, right, like that’s all it takes — being in love.

love make us poets, and the approach of death should make us philosophers.

To be a poet is to be taller, to be bigger
Than men! It is to bite as if you’re kissing!
It is to give alms, although you are a beggar like
King of the Realm where only pain is missing!</p>It is to have a thousand desires for splendor
And do not even know what we want!
It is to have inside yourself a flaming star,
It is to have the condor’s mighty claw and wing! It is to be hungry, to be thirsty of Infinity!
By helmet, golden and satin mornings...
It is to condense the world into one lonely cry! And it is loving you, thus, hopelessly...
And it is you being soul, and blood, and life in me
And tell it singing to everyone!

You wish to be liked. I wish simply to be.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

This seems to me a philosophical question, and therefore irrelevant, question. A poet's destiny is to love.

I wanted to write poetry in the beginning because I had fallen in love with words.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet

What a lovely drink this is, it makes one want to be a poet

Love is poetry, poetry is love

It occurred to me that I would like to be a poet. The chief qualification, I understand is that you must be born. Well, I hunted up my birth certificate, and found that I was all right on that score.

I will dream to become a great writer or great poet of the world.
