“...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
boiling, over the west past all control
rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”

“Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.”
