Herkes gaybı kendi gönlünün aydınlığı ölçüsüne göre görür.
Gönül aynasını daha fazla cilâlayan daha ziyade görür.
The Greatest Living Author, Karl Shapiro, 1960 - v.
I call Henry Miller the greatest living author because I think he is. I do not call him a poet because he has never written a poem; he even dislikes poetry, I think. But everything he has written is a poem in the best as well as in the broadest sense of the word.

Cenneti ararken Cehennemde Bir Mevsim yazılır
Though he is trying to amass a comfortable fortune, with which he can travel the globe leisurely and comfortably, or settle down somewhere should he find the right spot, he is still the poet and dreamer, the man who is unadapted to life, the man who believes in miracles, the man who is looking for Paradise in one form or another.
Ben öldükten sonra, eğer...
If, after I die, they should want to write my biography,
There's nothing simpler.
I've just two dates - of my birth, and of my death.
In between the one thing and the other all the days are
mine.
I am easy to describe.
I lived like mad.
I loved things without any sentimentality.
I never had a desire I could not fulfil, because
I never went blind.
Even hearing was to me never more than an
accompaniment of seeing.
I understood that things are real and all different from
each other;
I understood it with the eyes, never with thinking.
To understand it with thinking would be to find them
all equal.
One day I felt sleepy like a child.
I closed my eyes and slept.
And by the way, I was only Nature poet.
Penguin UK - Alberto Caeiro kimliğiyle yazılmış bir şiir. -If, After I Die-Kitabı okudu
Ey, kendinde olmayanlara kılıç vuran!
Aklını başına al; sen kendine vurmaktasın;
Çünkü kendinde olmayan (benliğinden geçen) kurtulmuştur; ebediyyen emniyet içindedir.
Sûreti gitmiş, ayna olmuştur; o aynada bir başkasının yüzünün hayalinden başka birşey görünmez.
Hayatın amacı daha büyük şeyler tarafından yenilmektir.
