The Resistance Is A Moral Certainty, Not

The Antagonism Between The Poet And The Politician Has Generally Been Evident In All Cultures.

The Resistance Is A Moral Certainty, Not A Poetic One. The True Poet Never Uses Words In Order To Punish Someone. His Judgment Belongs To A Creative Order; It Is Not Formulated As A Prophetic Scripture.

A Poet Clings To His Own Tradition And Avoids Internationalism.

At The Point When Continuity Was Interrupted By The First Nuclear Explosion, It Would Have Been Too Easy To Recover The Formal Sediment Which Linked Us With An Age Of Poetic Decorum, Of A Preoccupation With Poetic Sounds.

The Writer Of Stories Or Of Novels Settles On Men And Imitates Them; He Exhausts The Possibilities Of His Characters.
