"Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and immutable. . . nearly all our originality comes from the stamp that time impresses upon our sensibility."

--Charles Baudelaire.

"God is the great urge that has not yet found a body
but urges towards incarnation with the great creative urge.

And becomes at last a clove carnation: lo! that is god!
and becomes at last Helen, or Ninon: any lovely and generous woman
at their best and her most beautiful, being god,. made manifest,
any clear and fearless man being god, very god."

---D. H. Lawrence.

"Poetry and every other art was and is and forever will be strictly and distinctly a question of individuality....poetry is being, not doing....if poetry is your goal, you've got to forget all about punishments and all about rewards and all about self-styled obligations and duties and responsibilities....."

---e.e.cummings.
