Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject. The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing- to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party. My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk. The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness. When I have fears that I may cease to be, Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain. O fret not after knowledge- I have none, And yet my song comes native with the warmth. O fret not after knowledge- I have none, And yet the Evening listens. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run.
