And I mean I think poetry does need to be met to some extent especially I guess 19th century poetry and for me it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.

Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.

A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.

Gardeners are good at nurturing and they have a great quality of patience they're tender. They have to be persistent.

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

I travel the garden of music thru inspiration. It's a large very large garden seen?

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.
