Richard Eberhart

“Life is stranger than any of us expected,There is a somber, imponderable fate.Enigma rules, and the heart has no certainty.”

“Poems in a way are spells against death. They are milestones, to see where you were then from where you are now. To perpetuate your feelings, to establish them. If you have in any way touched the central heart of mankind's feelings, you'll survive.”

“Poetry is a natural energy resource of our country. It has no energy crisis, possessing a potential that will last as long as the country. Its power is equal to that of any country in the world.”

“Style is the perfection of a point of view.”
