“Holding the curve of one position, counting an endless repetition.”

“The heart can think of no devotionGreater than being shore to the ocean-Holding the curve of one position,Counting an endless repetition.”

“THE FIGURE A POEM MAKESNo one can really hold that ecstasy should be static and stand still in one place. It begins in delight, it inclines to the impulse, it assumes direction with the first line laid down, it runs a course of lucky events, and ends in a clarification of life- Not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.”

“I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way.”

“I hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo know that for destruction iceIs also great”

“Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.”

“Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desire,I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twiceI think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.”
