True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
-German poet Heinrich Heine
A poet must leave traces of his passage, not proof.
-French poet Rene Char
I don't want to write good poems. I want to write inevitable poems--given who I am, they are what I will write.
-American poet William Stafford
(A theme? Yes, there is one.)
