In politics as in poetry it is sometimes true that it is darkest before dawn.

Distinctly American poetry is usually written in the context of one's geographic landscape sometimes out of one's cultural myths and often with reference to gender and race or ethnic origins.

I know I'm not a wordsmith. And I don't write poetry. Sometimes I think I should because it's really helpful. But I always wanted to write novels.

Sometimes poetry is inspired by the conversation entered into by reading other poems.

I sometimes talk about the making of a poem within the poem.

Even when poetry has a meaning as it usually has it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.

After four years at the United Nations I sometimes yearn for the peace and tranquility of a political convention.

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary it is always an evil never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
