Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.

Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.

The emotion of art is impersonal. And the poet cannot reach this impersonality without surrendering himself wholly to the work to be done.
