Quotes
- “The ploughman ploughs, the fisherman dreams of fish;Aloft, the sailor, through a world of ropesGuides tangled meditations, feverishWith memories of girls forsaken, hopesOf brief reunions, new discoveries,Past rum consumed, rum promised, rum potential.”
- “Being pre-eminently a moralist, he needed a medium that enabled him to illustrate a moral insight as briefly and vividly as possible. Being an artist and sensualist, he needed a medium that was epigrammatic or aphoristic, but allowed him scope for fantasy and for that element of suggestiveness which he considered essential to beauty.”
- “It is impossible for a poet to characterize his own work. From other people I gather that I am a gloomy poet, if not a tragic one.”
- “I was invited to Romania at least once, but was warned that I should not be free to travel where I pleased in the country, but should be more or less confined to the Writers' Union. Because I ceased long ago to be an urban poet and feel claustrophobic in literary conferences, I could not accept such an invitation.”
- “Translation came naturally to me because as a child I was translated from Germany to Britain.”
- “I suppose that I am a very serious poet – except for satirical verse, which I have also been compelled to write, though much of it may be inferior to my more serious poems – perhaps because I am not playful enough by nature, and even my satirical or polemical verse is not entertaining.”
