“Poets quite often like to make out that they are idle; sometimes it is necessary simply to live, to read, and to cultivate an openness. If a poet is in the right state of receptiveness, materials arrive from unexpected directions and fuse into an achieved poem.”
― Robert Crawford, The Bard: Robert Burns, A Biography
