The Necessity and Nature of Inspiration [1]

I hope to be able to write not only good but very good and very fine poems as a part of Yoga.

To write such poetry, one must first be open to a high or strong or beautiful source of inspiration and secondly one must not be too facile – one must be careful of the quality.
