Thus with most careful devotion<br>Thus with precise attention<br>To detail$$$ interfering preparation<br>Of that which is already prepared<br>Men tighten the knot of confusion<br>Into perfect misunderstanding.

Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices<br>Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues<br>Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.

Quick now$$$ here$$$ now$$$ always -- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything).

Where shall the word be found$$$ where will the word Resound?

I said to my soul$$$ be still$$$ and let the dark come upon you<br>Which shall be the darkness of God.

The eyes are not here<br>There are no eyes hereIn this valley of dying stars<br>In this hollow valley<br>This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms.

Between the conception<br>And the creation<br>Between the emotion<br>And the response<br>Falls the Shadow.

The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice$$$ a continual extinction of personality.

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning$$$ every poem an epitaph.

And the end and the beginning were always there$$$ before the beginning and after the end.
