For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

Poetry is its own medium it's very different than writing prose. Poetry can talk in an imagistic sense it has particular ways of catching an environment.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

When you translate poetry in particular you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words sentences phrases the triple tension between the line of verse the syntax and the sentence.

I'm conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There's hardly a day that goes past on which I don't write poetry.

I still read Donne particularly his love poems.

In particular the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program.

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace let us mobilize the potentialities particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities which we usually reserve for war.

Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.

Nothing in the universe is contingent but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you'd be the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs given the particulars of his or her own life and nature.

It often happens that when a person possesses a particular ability to an extraordinary degree nature makes up for it by leaving him or her incompetent in every other department.

It is the nature of truth in general as of some ores in particular to be richest when most superficial.

For whatever reason not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And believe me it is a gift.

Since I was a kid I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties Chicago blues of the Fifties West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.

You know the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.

Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films it's because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.

I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very very involved and interested in art and particularly in animated movies.

I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked and I never held myself all that low when I had failures.

My movies are unadorned they're not particularly fancy I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways focusing on the writing and the acting.

I used to be prettier than I am but I think I look better now. I was a pretty boy. Particularly in my early movies. I don't like looking at them so much. There's a sort of pretty thing about me.

Sexiness particularly in movies is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's it's I don't know but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy then it's not.
