Poetry Is Life Distilled.

Nothing Could Stop Mississippi.

Even If You Are Not Ready For Day It Cannot Always Be Night.

Live Not For Battles Won. Live Not For The-end-of-the-song. Live In The Along.

There Can Be No Whiter Whiteness Than This One: An Insurance Man's Shirt On Its Morning Run.

Words Can Do Wonderful Things. They Pound, Purr. They Can Urge, They Can Wheedle, Whip, Whine. They Can Sing, Sass, Singe. They Can Churn, Check, Channelize. They Can Be A "hup Two Three Four." They Can Forge A Fiery Army Of A Hundred Languid Men.
