"Suppose there's the sight of the sky through a dusty window, birds and clouds and bits of paper flying through the sky, the sound of music from his radio, feelings of anger and love and amusement roused by a letter just received, the memory of some long ago thought or event associated with what's seen or heard or felt, and an idea, a concept, he has been pondering, each qualifying the other; together with what he knows about history; and what he has been dreaming--whether or not he remembers it--working in him.  This is only a rough outline of a possible moment in a life.  But the condition of being a poet is that periodically such a cross-section, or constellation, of experiences... demands, or wakes in him this demand, the poem."
