War, I Have Always Said, Forces Men

Religious Power, Which, As I Have Already Said, Frequently Identifies Itself With Political Power, Has Always Been A Protagonist Of This Bitter Struggle, Even When It Seemingly Was Neutral.

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.

The Poet Does Not Fear Death, Not Because He Believes In The Fantasy Of Heroes, But Because Death Constantly Visits His Thoughts And Is Thus An Image Of A Serene Dialogue.

He Passes From Lyric To Epic Poetry In Order To Speak About The World And The Torment In The World Through Man, Rationally And Emotionally. The Poet Then Becomes A Danger.

A Poet Clings To His Own Tradition And Avoids Internationalism.
