"Reason means truth and those who are not governed by it take the chance that someday the sunken fact will rip the bottom out of their boat."

Previous Quote

Poetry is ultimately mythology, the telling of stories of the soul. The old myths, the old gods, the old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our minds, waiting for our call. We have need of them, for in their sum they epitomize the wisdom and experience of the race.
