I Was Very Interested In American Poetry

All Those Authors There, Most Of Whom Of Course I've Never Met. That's The Poetry Side, That's The Prose Side, That's The Fishing And Miscellaneous Behind Me. You Get An Affection For Books That You've Enjoyed.

All I Write About Is What's Happened To Me And To People I Know, And The Better I Know Them, The More Likely They Are To Be Written About.

Landscape Is My Religion. ...god In A Green Legend, I Lean Over The Pool In A Testament Of Leaves. I Dangle My Twinkling Mood Before Me In A Cool Cave Roofed With Branches And Floored With A Skin Of Water.

I Was Very Interested In American Poetry For Many Years. Much Less Now.

In Some Ways I'm A Reticent Man, And For Quite A Number Of Years There Wasn't Very Much Of My Real True Deep Feelings In My Writing.
