In every age and in every country, there are always two trends at odds with each other, one nationalist, the other cosmopolitan. (даже и в этом неоригинальны).

That is why I say that there are no love poets, no patriotic poets, no [...] poets nor any other thing of a social nature. Poetry is individual. Poetry is not meant to express social emotions. Social emotions are expressed by action and each social emotion by a relevant action. Poetry exists to express what actions and gestures cannot express.

To have opinions is to betray oneself. Not to have opinions is to exist. To have all possible opinions is to be a poet.

God writes crookedly on straight lines. (бедный Клодель, cf. "Dieu écrit des choses droites par des lignes tortueuses").

I have never managed to be entirely incoherent. To talk nonsense, yes, but sensibly.

Ага, спасибо. Португальское слово, означает человека.

Но какой загадочный персонаж! 80 различных псевдонимов ("гетеронимов").
