Beauty Lying Writing

More From William Shakespeare

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.
Lying Way In Life Feet
There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "tell me how to become a poet. tell me what to do." . . . what makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. when all these things come together, you're a poet. but there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. there isn't any formula for it.
Heart Thinking Magic
To love you as i should, i must worship god as creator. when i have learnt to love god better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now. in so far as i learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of god and instead of god, i shall be moving towards the state in which i shall not love my earthly dearest t all. when first things are put first, second things are not suppressed bu increased.

But, if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. the rays that come from these heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. one might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime... but every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

It's a big thing to call yourself a poet. all i can say is that i have always written poems. i don't think i'm interested in any discussion about whether i'm a good poet, a bad poet or a great poet. but i am sure, i want to write great poems. i think every poet should want that.
Writing Thinking Want
The poet is born with the capacity of arranging words in such a way that something of the quality of the graces and inspirations he has received can make itself felt to other human beings in the white spaces, so to speak, between the lines of his verse. this is a great and precious gift; but if the poet remains content with his gift, if he persists in worshipping the beauty in art and nature without going on to make himself capable, through selflessness, of apprehending beauty as it is in the divine ground, then he is only an idolater.

In the eight years i worked at newspapers, even during a little stretch when i was a film critic, i was never, ever doing exclusively criticism. in the daily newspaper world, much more value is placed on reporting than on thinking abstractly about art. the eight years i was in newspapers, i was mainly a journalist in the conventional sense, and just doing criticism when there were opportunities.
