Poetry allies itself with beauty - a supreme union - but never uses it as its ultimate goal or sole nourishment. -Saint-John Perse Poetry
The poet existed among the cave men; he will exist among men of the atomic age, for he is an inherent part of man. Even religions have been born from the need for poetry, which is a spiritual need, and it is through the grace of poetry that the divine spark lives forever in the human flint. -Saint-John Perse Age
