  1. Poetry –
    is is everything
    of feeling
    of passions
    of defined
    and yet undefined
    of love
    of hate
    of humor
    of sadness
    of loss
    of conquest
    of everything
    that can and has
    ever been felt

    an entire history of
    emotions

    and it is nothing

    if not absorbed
    like the food
    and wine
    from the plates
    from the Gods Table
    and digested for the
    soul

  2. Why poetry is dangerous:

    “Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.”

    Albert Camus

      1. You are, of course, completely correct. But sometimes the madness & the medication can be the parents of new beauties, which then drive us further beyond reason (hence the quote from Camus) & to create again, & again & again. To make it never stop…..
