strong nice bye
My friendships, they are a very strong part of my life, they are as light as gossamer but also they are as strong as steel. And I cannot throw them off, nor altogether do with them or without them. And I love them at the point where they say: It is nice to see you again. And I love them too at the point when they say: Good-bye, come again soon. The rhythm of friendship is a very good rhythm.
strong way poetry-is
The human creature is alone in his carapace. Poetry is a strong way out.
strong communication important
All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.
shadow sun
Marred pleasure's best, shadow makes the sun strong.
bring exciting share wish won
I wish I had something exciting to tell you, but if I won $140,000, my share would be 70 (thousand). That's about what I'm in the hole, so that would bring me back even.
far further lay nobody waving
Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning.

people spirited oneself
one never knows really how things are with other people, they just do always seem more spirited than oneself somehow.

Colours are what drive me most strongly.
cat home sight
I like to see cats in movement. A galloping cat is a fine sight. See it cross the road in a streak, cursed by the drivers of motor cars and buses, dodging the butcher's bicycle, coming safe to the kerb and bellying under its home gate.
cat might faces
See the cat at love, rolling with its sweetheart, up and over, with shriek and moan. But if a person comes by, they break away, sit separate upon a fence washing their faces - and might never have met at all.
art hands use
There can be no good art that is international. Art to be vigorous and gesund must use the material at hand.
artist great-art great-artist
a great artist ... takes what he did not make and makes of it something that only he can make ...
