yes, but these things are re-makers and makers in what they are: “we can perhaps say that poetry is play, or that play is poetry; after all, poiein means “to make” in Greek. We can’t help being makers and re-makers in this world, where everything constantly collapses around us and in us. As grown-ups we continue playing, when we write or read poetry, because poetry saves whatever is true, good, and beautiful. The Iliad is not about war, it is about love: “Whatever is not war, whatever war destroys or threatens, the Iliad wraps in poetry; the realities of war, never.” (Mateusz Stróżyński)
Can't say enough about the last line: the importance of not accepting definitions about 'proper living' presented by the 'scientist' who, weak-kneed with sterility, is afraid to even pull open the dress of life and see what passion abides there.

"Psychology is a rubber-stamp / Pressed upon a slippery, dodging ghost" That's going into my quote journal!
I read Norton anthology of modern English poetry, and he is not included. What's wrong with editors?
