It is well sometimes to half understand a poem in the same manner that we half understand the world.

somehow one must love the world without being worldly.

ONCE remove the old arena of theological quarrels, and you will throw open the whole world to the most horrible, the most hopeless, the most endless, the most truly interminable quarrels; the untheological quarrels.

In a world where everything is ridiculous, nothing can be ridiculed. You cannot unmask a mask.
