A Definition Of Poetry Can Only Determine What Poetry Should Be And Not What Poetry Actually Was And Is; Otherwise The Most Concise Formula Would Be: Poetry Is That Which At Some Time And Some Place Was Thus Named.

The Naive Is What Is Or Appears To Be Natural, Individual, Or Classical To The Point Of Irony Or To The Point Of Continuous Alternation Of Self-creation And Self-destruction. If It Is Only Instinct, Then It Is Childlike, Childish, Or Silly; If It Is Only Intention, It Becomes Affectation.
