 In reading, a lonely quiet concert is given to our minds; all our mental faculties will be present in this symphonic exaltation. |
| Dreams have as much influence as actions. |
| You don't make a poem with ideas, but with words. |
| The flesh, alas, is sad, and I have read all the books. |
| Every soul is a melody which needs renewing. |
| The pure work implies the disappearance of the poet as speaker, who hands over to the words. |
| The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme. |
