War, I have always said, forces men to change their standards, regardless of whether their country has won or lost.

A poet clings to his own tradition and avoids internationalism.

The poet's other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them.
