Variante: En dos palabras puedo resumir cuanto he aprendido acerca de la vida: Sigue adelante.

“Poetry begins in trivial metaphors, pretty metaphors, "grace" metaphors, and goes on to the profoundest thinking that we have. Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another. People say, "Why don’t you say what you mean?" We never do that, do we, being all of us too much poets. We like to talk in parables and in hints and in indirections — whether from diffidence or some other instinct.”

The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so,
And they are better for her praise.”

A turbulence he had the better of.”

You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You´re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you´re two months back in the middle of March.”

Of caution under stars that very well
Might not have missed me when they shot and fell?

Considering the market, there are more
Poems produced than any other thing?

So much more businesslike than businessmen.
Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.”
