Robert Cecil Day-Lewis

First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.

— Robert Cecil Day-Lewis

How selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.

— Robert Cecil Day-Lewis
