I can write, He floated up to the ceiling, and a baby rabbit came out of his pocket, grew wings, and flew away. And you will believe that it really happened. That's magic, isn't it? Humphrey Carpenter
Kenneth Rexroth quote: "The basic line in any good verse is cadenced... building it..."
The basic line in any good verse is cadenced... building it around the natural breath structures of speech. Kenneth Rexroth
Good and evil, and joy and pain, and I and you- colored vapors did they seem to me before creative eyes. The creator wished to look away from himself,- and so he created the world. Friedrich Nietzsche
