I Wonder If I Ever Thought Of

As For Political Poetry, As It's Usually Defined, It Seems There's Very Little Good Political Poetry.

You Can't Be Too Influenced By A Great Poet. You Simply Have To Live Through It.

You Aren't Just The Age You Are. You Are All The Ages You Ever Have Been!

I Love Painting And Music, Of Course. I Don't Know Nearly As Much About Them As I Know About Poetry. I've Certainly Been Influenced By Fiction. I Was Overwhelmed By War And Peace When I Read It, And I Didn't Read It Until I Was In My Late 20s.

Certainly, It Seems True Enough That There's A Good Deal Of Irony In The World... I Mean, If You Live In A World Full Of Politicians And Advertising, There's Obviously A Lot Of Deception.
