Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.
The poems I am writing at the moment will be much closer to your present way of thinking.I am trying to renew poetic style,but within a classical framework.On the other hand,I don't want to lapse into imitating others.Letter to Picasso 1918
Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
