The bad critic criticizes the poet, not the poetry.
Every man is a poet.
I do not believe those poets, from whose head, as the saying goes, pop out the finished-sounding verses like armored goddesses. I know how much innermost life and how much red lifeblood of any single real verse must have been drinking before he could stand on his feet and can walk.
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
