Poetry For Me Is As Much A

Most Poets In Their Youth Begin In Adolescent Sadness. I Find It More Rewarding To End In Gladness.

Being Identified As A Poet In France Or Denmark Or India One Is Greeted With Gracious Respect.

I Tried To Stir The Imagination And Enthusiasms Of Students To Take Risks, To Do What They Were Most Afraid Of Doing, To Widen Their Horizons Of Action.

Everything Is Song. Everything Is Silence. Since It All Turns Out To Be Illusion, Perfectly Being What It Is, Having Nothing To Do With Good Or Bad, You Are Free To Die Laughing.
