Some poems are easily laid . . .

"Some poems are easily laid. They will give themselves to anybody and anybody physically capable can receive them. . . . I swear that if one of them were hidden beneath my carpet, it would shout out and seduce somebody. The quiet poems are what I worry about--the ones that must be seduced. They could travel about with me for years and no one would notice them. And yet, properly wed, they are more beautiful than their whorish cousins."
