"Let Love search for new arts, a new talent
to kill me, and new indifference;
for it cannot take away my hopes,
for it will have difficulty in taking from me what I do not have.

"...you can't blame the president for the state of the country;it's always the poets fault. You can't expect politicians to came up with a vision, they don't have it in them. Poets have to came up with vision and they have to turn it on so it sparks and catches the hold.
