“The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.”

Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
