"I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean."

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
