...the work of a poet who has a real talent, but not for words. - Randall Jarrell

The climate of our culture is changing. Under these new rains, new suns, small things grow great, and what was great grows small; whole species disappear and are replaced.

We always tend to distrust geniuses about genius, as if what they say didn’t arouse much empathy in us, or as if we were waiting till some more reliable source of information came along...

Reality is what we want it to be or what we do not want it to be, but it is not our wanting or our not wanting that makes it so.
