Style means no front at all.
Style means ultimate naturalness.
Style means one man alone with billions of men about.”

“THE THOUGHTFUL LOVER
Deny yourself all
half things. Have it
or leave it.
But it will keep—or
it is not worth
the having.
Never start
anything you can't
finish—
However do not lose
faith because you
are starved!
She loves you
she says. Believe it
—tomorrow.
But today
the particulars
of poetry
that difficult art
require
your whole attention.”
― The Collected Poems, Vol. 2: 1939-1962
