A Work Of Art Is One Through Which The Consciousness Of The Artist Is Able To Give Its Emotions To Anyone Who Is Prepared To Receive Them.

Everywhere We Are Told That Our Human Resources Are All To Be Used, That Our Civilization Itself Means The Uses Of Everything It Has - The Inventions, The Histories, Every Scrap Of Fact. But There Is One Kind Of Knowledge - Infinitely Precious, Time-resistant More Than Monuments, Here To Be Passed Between The Generations In Any Way It May Be: Never To Be Used. And That Is Poetry.

The Statement Of Ideas In A Poem May Have To Do With Logic. More Profoundly, It May Be Identified With The Emotional Progression Of The Poem, In Terms Of The Music And Images, So That The Poem Is Alive Throughout. Another, More Fundamental Statement In Poetry, Is Made Through The Images Themselves Those Declarations, Evocative, Exact, And Musical, Which Move Through Time And Are The Actions Of A Poem.

Breathe-in Experience, Breathe-out Poetry.
