STONE

An accomplished poem is like a boulder. Compact, finished, complete. I'm in love with stones. One never gets ready watching such a withdrawn stone.

POET (3)

For a poet lives everybody else's life
And dies everybody else's Death
.

Jacob Israel de Haan


The poet and the calligrapher find each other in the respect they demand for the word, for the letter, for the thin line of letter and character. Therefore alone the publication of a poetry collection may be called a therapeutic moment.

Jef Lambrecht


The poet is the priest of the invisible.

ANIMAL (2)

Poetry is an animal, a combination
of the softest animals on earth.

Ben Cami


Poetry is an animal
that prowls around the house,
that doesn't jump through hoops.
