Women

And most people have a woman in their heart most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.

Leonard Cohen

And most people have a woman in their heart most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.

Women

Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.

Poetry

I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he's written poetry then let the verdict be that he's a poet.

Poetry

I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others it's for others to use.

Poetry

I never really liked poetry readings I liked to read poetry by myself but I liked singing chanting my lyrics to this jazz group.

Faith

Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.

Dreams

To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not there is a Covenant beyond the constitution beyond sovereign guarantee beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
