"with poems one accomplishes so little when one……" — Rainer Maria Rilke

"with poems one accomplishes so little when one writes them early. One should hold off and gather sense and sweetness a whole life long, a long life if possible, and then, right at the end, one could perhaps write ten lines that are good."
