I asked the poet Tony Hoagland what he thought about fear. He said fear was the ghost of an experience: we fear the recurrence of a pain we once felt, and in this way fear is like a hangover. The memory of our pain is a pain unto itself, and thus feeds our fear like a foyer with mirrors on both sides. And then he quoted Auden: “And ghosts must do again/What gives them pain.”

Mary Ruefle, from “On Fear: Our positive capability,” in Poetry (June 2012)

I don’t date. I’m either with someone or I’m not. I can’t be bothered with all that fannying around. Guy Code? Seriously? If it’s ain’t screwed down and no-one’s looking, go for it mate. If it’s going to happen, it’ll happen regardless. I’m not going to roll over for anyone. If she’s The One, I’d do anything: begging, crying, snivelling, writing poetry, swing dancing.
