writing doe psychologist
How does one happen to write a poem: where does it come from? That is the question asked by the psychologists or the geneticists of poetry.
art historical connections
Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.
friendship silence gathering
Among friends one has the privilege of saying nothing; the civility consists in the assumption that one's silence will be civilly understood. I can imagine a small gathering of friends who say nothing all evening: they recoil from saying anything that the others don't want to hear; and their silence would be the subtlest courtesy.
hard-times mind use
For some reason most critics have a hard time fixing their minds directly under their noses, and before they see the object that is there they use a telescope upon the horizon to see where it came from.
detachment theory has-beens
Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.
men way poet
Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.
perfect interesting want
So the poet, who wants to be something that he cannot be, and is a failure in plain life, makes up fictitious versions of his predicament that are interesting even to other persons because nobody is a perfect automobile salesman.
written
What is the poem, after it is written? That is the question. Not where it came from or why.
particular knows
We know the particular poem, not what it says that we can restate.
art mean years
There is probably nothing wrong with art for art's sake if we take the phrase seriously, and not take it to mean the kind of poetry written in England forty years ago.
real may critics
The only real evidence that any critic may bring before his gaze is the finished poem.
spring faces spring-poems
The Spring I seek is in a new face only.
world hovering knows
But we shall not know the world by looking at it; we know it by looking at the hovering fly.
glasses church saint
For often at Church I've seen the stained high glass Pour out the Virgin and Saints, twist and untwist The mortal youth of Christ astride an ass.
