If prepared right, a poem can keep an image or a thought or insights on history or the psyche alive for years, as well as our desires and airy impulses.”

When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription filled. He took lots of pictures... but he was never in them.”
“He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.”
