"The first book of poetry could have been published in due time if I had not been distracted by a play in verse, and then a play in prose - these were all attempts at writing, which turned out to be more successful in prose. Now I see that I myself the first underestimated his early poems and plays. In them there emerges a poetics that I now recognize as Renaissance, with the affirmation of beauty and life in their momentariness and eternity, that is, in mythical reality, if you like, in the gleam of existence."
