Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.

Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.

诗歌不是一种职业，而是一种生活方式。它是一个空篮子;你投入了你的生命，并从中获得了一些东西。
