Poetry Heals The Wounds Inflicted By Reason.

Denotation By Means Of Sounds And Markings Is A Remarkable Abstraction. Three Letters Designate God For Me; Several Lines A Million Things. How Easy Becomes The Manipulation Of The Universe Here, How Evident The Concentration Of The Intellectual World! Language Is The Dynamics Of The Spiritual Realm. One Word Of Command Moves Armies; The Word Liberty Entire Nations.

Only An Artist Can Interpret The Meaning Of Life.

Perceptibility Is A Kind Of Attentiveness.

Sometimes With The Most Intense Pain A Paralysis Of Sensibility Occurs. The Soul Disintegrates--hence The Deadly Frost--the Free Power Of The Mind--the Shattering, Ceaseless Wit Of This Kind Of Despair. There Is No Inclination For Anything Any More--the Person Is Alone, Like A Baleful Power--as He Has No Connection With The Rest Of The World He Consumes Himself Gradually--and In Accordance With His Own Principle He Is--misanthropic And Misotheos.

To Romanticize The World Is To Make Us Aware Of The Magic, Mystery And Wonder Of The World; It Is To Educate The Senses To See The Ordinary As Extraordinary, The Familiar As Strange, The Mundane As Sacred, The Finite As Infinite.
