But poets were not considered dangerous and they were advised to exercise self-censorship. At most, poets were requested not to write at all. I took advantage of this negative liberty.

It has often been observed that the repercussion of poetic language on prose language can be considered a decisive cut of a whip.

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry.

Against the dark background of this contemporary civilization of well-being, even the arts tend to mingle, to lose their identity.

True poetry is similar to certain pictures whose owner is unknown and which only a few initiated people know.

Slowly poetry becomes visual because it paints images, but it is also musical: it unites two arts into one.

This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul.

Man cannot produce a single work without the assistance of the slow, assiduous, corrosive worm of thought.

I do not go in search of poetry. I wait for poetry to visit me.
