“Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth. Also, it began through the process of seeing, and feeling, and hearing, and smelling, and touching, and then remembering--I mean remembering in words--what these perceptual experiences were like, while trying to describe the endless invisible fears and desires of our inner lives.” TryingMeanArtFeelingsEarthRememberDesirePoetryProcessSeeingFineOriginalsAncientHearingEndlessInvisibleWildernessPoetry IsTouchingInner LifeFine ArtsAncient Art Book:A Poetry Handbook Source: A Poetry Handbook
“Sometimes in the ignorance I feel the meaning Invincible invisible wisdom, And I commune with intuitive instinct With the force that made life be And since it made life be It is greater than life And since it let extinction be It is greater than extinction.
