Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that's what a poet is doing: loosening the words.

I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet.

The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality.

The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
