True Feeling Justifies Whatever It May Cost.

Flowers And Plants Are Silent Presences. They Nourish Every Sense Except The Ear.

In The Garden The Door Is Always Open Into The "holy" - Growth, Birth, Death. Every Flower Holds The Whole Mystery In Its Short Cycle, And In The Garden We Are Never Far Away From Death, The Fertilizing, Good, Creative Death.

... The Reason Why There Are So Few First-class Poets Is That Many People Have Intense Feelings Or First-class Minds But To Get The Two Together So That You Will Be Willing To Put A Poem Through Sixty Drafts, To Be That Self-critical, To Keep Breaking It Down, That Is What Is Rare. Right Now Most Poetry Is Just Self-indulgence.

Why Is It That People Who Cannot Show Feeling Presume That That Is A Strength And Not A Weakness?

Letters Are So Much Easier Than Living. One Can Give One's Best.
