That perhaps is your task--to find the relation between things that seem incompatible yet have a mysterious affinity, to absorb every experience that comes your way fearlessly and saturate it completely so that your poem is a whole, not a fragment; to re-think human life into poetry and so give us tragedy again and comedy by means of characters not spun out at length in the novelist's way, but condensed and synthesized in the poet's way--that is what we look to you to do now. Virginia Woolf

Delacroix was passionately in love with passion... The man himself was an intense passion, supported by a formidable will power.

Charles Baudelaire
Color has got me. I no longer need to chase after it. It has got me for ever. I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour. Paul Klee
Max Planck quote: "Experiment is the only means of knowledge at our disposal...."
Experiment is the only means of knowledge at our disposal. Everything else is poetry, imagination. Max Planck
Bob Geldof quote: "The meaning of life is life itself."
