"In life, the number of beginnings is exactly equal to the number of endings: no one has yet to begin a life who will not end it.
In poetry, the number of beginnings so far exceeds the number of endings that we cannot even concieve it. Not every poem is finished - one poem is abandoned, another catches fire and is carried away by the wind, which may be an ending, but it is the ending of a poem without and end."

"But 'knowing is not enough'. And, of course, not knowing doesn't help much either.
