Morning everyone!
The weekend rolls around again and so too do the quotes. I hope you like this one-
“Many poets are not poets for the same reason that many religious men are not saints: they never succeed in being themselves. They never get around to being the particular poet or the particular monk they are intended to be by God. They never become the man or the artist who is called for by all the circumstances of their individual lives. They waste their years in vain efforts to be some other poet, some other saint…They wear out their minds and bodies in a hopeless endeavor to have somebody else’s experiences or write somebody else’s poems.”
A little dark perhaps and maybe too deep for a Saturday morning, but a very real piece- wouldn’t you say?
