Never explain- your reader is as smart as you. Your reader is not just any reader, but is the rare one with ears in his head. - Basil Bunting

The sea has no renewal, no forgetting,
no variety of death,
is silent with the silence of a single note.

Poetry? It's a hobby.
I run model trains.
Mr Shaw there breeds pigeons.
It's not work. You don't sweat.
Nobody pays for it.
You could advertise soap.

All you can usually say about a poem or a picture is, 'Look at it, listen to it.' Whether you listen to a piece of music or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own."
