A poem should not leave you famished or undernourished but hungry for

another taste.

Poetry makes one forget all other moods and modes.

No gift is as personalized as ourselves.

Today's sleeping beauty is just a tranquilized princess.

After 1789 when you are arrested they call you citizen.

Today public trust is self interest turned into private benefit and profit.

The poet is surrounded with Byronism.

Religion offers dialogue with a future translation.

A poem stands by itself, challenges language,like a watch on a chain,

intricate, perfect, fixed for the right time.
