ethical relationship

All good poetry depends on the ethical relation between imagination and the image. Images are not ornaments; they are truths.

—Eavan Boland, “A Kind of Scar,” Object Lessons: The Life of the Woman and the Poet in Our Time (W.W. Norton, 1996)

    I want you to think if you could distinguish between great and ordinary sayings, if you had no knowledge of authorship of it.

    My name is James. I don't know what I am doing, but I am a good writer. I found you because you seem interested in good writing and philosophy. I try and publish every day, once. Here's my blog.
