• No creo que nadie que no sea poeta pueda darse cuenta de la agonía que supone crear un poema. Cada nervio, incluso cada músculo, parece tensarse hasta el punto de ruptura. No se puede negar el poema; negarse a escribirlo sería una tortura mayor. Se abre camino a través del cerebro, astillando y rompiendo su paso, y deja ese órgano en el estado de un pez gelatinoso cuando la tarea está terminada.

• Lilacs, False Blue, White, Purple,
  Colour of lilac,
  Your great puffs of flowers
  Are everywhere in this my New England ...
  Lilacs in dooryards
  Holding quiet conversation with an early moon;
  Lilacs watching a deserted house; ...
  Lilacs, wind-beaten, staggering under a lopsided shock of bloom,
  You are everywhere.

  Amy Lowell

  Primavera, Flor, Luna

• So with the stretch of the white road before me,
  Shining snow crystals rainbowed by the sun,
  Fields that are white, stained with long, cool, blue shadows,
  Strong with the strength of my horse as we run.
  Joy in the touch of the wind and the sunlight!
  Joy! With the vigorous earth I am one.
