The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
This love is silent.
Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.
The most important thing for poets to do is to write as little as possible.
Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to.
