Frank O'Hara quotes about
It may be that poetry makes life's nebulous events tangible to me and restores their detail; or conversely, that poetry brings forth the intangible quality of incidents which are all too concrete and circumstantial. Or each on specific occasions, or both all the time.
and I have mastered the speed and strength which is the armor of the world.
You just go on your nerve.
