Robert Frost

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

John Keats

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.
Marcel Proust

Henry Miller
