Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted.

Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively from a distance and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world and at myself from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality.
