That's a wonderful change that's taken place and so most poetry today is published if not directly by the person certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself working with his friends.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off I know that is poetry.

The old interests of aristocracy - the romance of action the exalted passions of chivalry and war - faded into the background and their place was taken by the refined and intimate pursuits of peace and civilization.

Sinn Fein has productively taken the example of South Africa and as we develop the peace process we continue to use examples from South Africa.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted.

So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.

It has taken a great deal of energy which has not been so difficult to summon as the necessary patience to wait simply wait much of the time - until my instincts assured me that I had assembled my materials in proper order for a final welding into their natural form.
