TO QUOTE:
"Weather is a sense of nature. Poetry is a sense. /
Poetry is a means of redemption. / The theory of
poetry is the theory of life. / Politics is the
struggle for existence. / Poetry must resist the
intelligence almost successfully. / Poetry is a
renovation of experience. Originality is an escape
from repetition. / Literature is the abnormal creating
an illustion of the normal. / Poetry is the gaiety
(joy) of language. / The exquisite truth is to know
that it is a fiction and that you believe in it
willingly. . . "
----from "Adagia" by Wallace Stevens
