Art holds in her hands representation, form and expression. Being gods these ones can not be tamed and most claims to know for whose sake they come up and in are delusions of granduer. The pendantic destroys as much as the self-referntial. Was there ever a more lyric soul than Neruda? Even he could not crossover into ideology without being an instrument unstringed. The poet stand in the medial place, the opening up is the taking in. The imagination being the voice of G-d when it claims its deepest autonomy in its surrender will do as She pleases. Where poetry is there will be spells and summons, songs and wisdom, but also sheer exaltation in language and sound, shape and shift, whisper and scream. I have never felt a taste or interest in Poe. No dog in that fight but creation by the best is a guide to that by the lesser. Every niche is filled, every type of eye opened and every form can be a food. Foils are for sport. Just show me what you love on your own own skin, no need to take a pelt to find a surface to engrave.

Art is the ability of man to create.

Where poetry is there will be spells and summons, yes, but is this the proper use of poetry? I think not.
