The poetic image exists apart from causality. - Gaston Bachelard

There is no original truth, only original error.

In the resonance we hear the poem, in the reverberations we speak it, it is our own.

One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort.
