I just thought your post was alot like that quote. If you do want to read his stuff read 'letters to a young poet' they are all posted together on a website somewhere I think there is only about 10. Those would be worth reading. Sometimes his poems are a bit hit or miss...for me. but anyways. i didnt mean for you to read the translations. I just thought your post was alot like that quote.
