Amory took to writing poetry on spring afternoons, in the gardens of the big estates near Princeton, while swans made effective atmosphere in the artificial pools, and slow clouds sailed harmoniously above the willow.

My father died and left me his blessing and his business. His blessing brought no money into my pocket, and as to his business, it soon deserted me, for I was busy writing poetry, and could not attend to law, and my clients, though they had great respect for my talents, had no faith in a poetical attorney Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter if people are playing jazz or writing poetry. If they want to be successful, they need to learn how to persist and persevere and keep on working until the work is done... I bet there isn’t a single highly successful person who has not depended on grit. Nobody is talented enough to not have to work hard, and that’s what grit allows you to do Picture Quote #1

Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one’s own pleasure is shared Picture Quote #1
