The Fundamental Purpose Of The Artist Is

The Point I Am Making Is That In The More Primitive Forms Of Society The Individual Is Merely A Unit; In More Developed Forms Of Society He Is An Independent Personality.

The Great Modern Heresy In Poetry Is To Confuse The Use We Make Of Words In A Poem With Modalities Of Speech...for True Poetry Is Never Speech But Always A Song.

In History, Stagnant Waters, Whether They Be The Stagnant Waters Of Custom Or Those Of Despotism, Harbour No Life; Life Is Dependent On The Ripples Created By A Few Eccentric Individuals. In Homage To That Life & Vitality, The Community Has To Brave Certain Perils And Must Countenance A Measure Of Heresy. One Must Live Dangerously If One Wants To Live At All.

It Is Not My Purpose As A Poet To Condemn War (or To Be Exact, Modern Warfare). I Only Wish To Present The Universal Aspects Of A Particular Event.

In General, Modern Art... Has Been Inspired By A Natural Desire To Chart The Uncharted.
