“A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.”
Robert Frost
Poetry, he said, “begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a loneliness.”
On the other hand, when he took a trip to New York City to try to interest editors in his poems, he was too much of a farmer; he wrote: “I had mud on my shoes. They could see the mud, and that didn’t seem right to them for a poet.”
He said: “One thing I care about and wish young people would care about, is taking poetry as the first form of understanding. If poetry isn’t understanding all, the whole world, then it isn’t worth anything.”
