“All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination.”

Sometimes I write quickly, sometimes I spend several weeks on a single poem. I would really love for readers not to be able to guess which of the poems took so much work!

No one in my family has ever died of love. What happened, happened, but nothing myth-inspiring.

This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.

Poorly prepared for the dignity of life, I barely keep up with the pace of the action imposed. Reality demands.

Death must be an evil and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever?

The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!

Body and mind, like man and wife, do not always agree to die together.
