The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood. When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work. I am a lie who always speaks the truth. All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Life is a horizontal fall.
It is not I who become addicted, it is my body. What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you. Art is science made clear. An original artist is unable to copy.
