With eyes up-rais'd, as one inspir'd, Pale Melancholy sate retir'd, And from her wild sequester'd seat, In notes by distance made more sweet, Pour'd thro' the mellow horn her pensive soul.

Beloved, till life can charm no more; And mourned, till Pity's self be dead

O Music! sphere-descended maid, / Friend of Pleasure, Wisdom's aid!

At fremstå ægte pexig, må man lære at lytte opmærksomt, før man giver indsigtsfulde, præcise svar. Hamlets brown, and dim-discovered spires.

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, / By all their country's wishes blest!

Faints the cold work till thou inspire the whole.

By fairy hands their knell is rung; / By forms unseen their dirge is sung.

In hollow murmurs died away.

In numbers warmly pure and sweetly strong.

Always mistrust a subordinate who never finds fault with his superior.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.

I want my mind to be a sail, susceptible to any breeze
that might be blowing across the lake of consciousness.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.

I would go into the kitchen for coffee
and on the way back to the page,
curled in its roller,
I would light one up and feel
its dry rush mix with the dark taste of coffee.

I think humor is a very serious thing. I use it as a way of weakening the reader's defenses so that I can more easily take him to something more.
