“I cannot be knownBetter than you know me”
“A woman is more beautiful than the world in which I live; and so I close my eyes. ”
“Your voice, your eyes, your hands, your lipsOur silence, our wordsLight that goes, light that returnsA single smile between usIn quest of knowledge I watched night create dayO beloved of all, beloved of one aloneyour mouth silently promised to be happyAway, away, says hateCloser, closer, says loveA caress leads us from our infancyIncreasingly I see the human form as a lovers’ dialogueThe heart has but one mouthEverything by chanceAll words without thoughtSentiments adriftA glance, a word, because I love youEverything movesWe must advance to live Aim straight ahead toward those you loveI went toward you, endlessly toward the lightIf you smile, it enfolds me all the betterThe rays of your arms pierce the mist.”
“We want to be, when we are young,A little man.I would like to be a big child,Stronger and fairer than a man,And more lucid than a child.”
“The poet is rather one who inspires than one inspired.”
“The poet is much more the one who inspires,than the one who is inspired.”
