The poets don't know what they don't know. They speak in their strange language.

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE (6)
There is nothing more precious in the world than the poetic spirit, and a sense of chivalry.
The common herd are lovers, poets are idolaters.
They tell of poets who all their lives fixed their eyes upon on beloved image. I believe indeed (but I am biased) that fidelity is one of the signs of genius.
Our neighbours say: Shakespeare and Goethe! We can respond: Victor Hugo and Théophile Gautier!
Only three beings deserve our respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
The absolute drug, is Poetry.

HERMAN VAN ROMPUY
Haiku doesn't change your life, but because your life is changing, you reach haiku.
