In my heart I had
the thorn of passion.
One day I pulled it out.
Now I feel no heart.Antonio Machado

Translated by Willis Barnstone
In the forest of time they pluck
Eternity's single leaf.
C. Day Lewis
from The Poet
Word over all,
beautiful as the sky,
Beautiful that war and all its deeds
of carnage must in time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters
Death and Night incessantly
softly wash again, and ever again,
this soiled world.
Walt Whitman
Poetry as divination,
poetry as revelation
of the self to the self,
as restoration
of the culture to itself.
Seamus Heaney
Preoccupations
Poetry is a discipline, a mnemonic tool, and that it can be used to bring healing, creative energies into a world which is sorely in need of them.
Ted Hughes
Poetry in the Making
"My passion has never been for photography "in itself,"
but for the possibility
- through forgetting yourself -
of recording in a fraction
of a second the
emotion of the subject, and the
beauty of the form."
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The Mind's Eye
