A poet's life begins in conflict with the whole of existence.
—Søren Kierkegaard
corner of your eye
Poetry is the kind of thing you have to see from the corner of your eye. You can be too well prepared for poetry. A conscientious interest in it is worse than no interest at all....It's like a very faint star. If you look straight at it you can't see it, but if you look a little to one side it is there.
