|  The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology. | | Always carry a corkscrew and the wine shall provide itself. | | To appreciate present conditions, collate them with those of antiquity. | | Can a moment of madness make up for an age of consent? | | Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own. |
