—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
“When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Poetry has no goal other than itself; it can have no other, and no poem will be so great, so noble, so truly worthy of the name of poem, than one written uniquely for the pleasure of writing a poem.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
