Day 45

I guess. It has been so long and apologies for that.

"Only by understanding that the creative process is deep and complicated, that it may manifest itself in many different ways, and that it is primarily a process of search for meanings and exploration of meanings--- . . .
only by understaning all this, can we understand how ideas, themes, meanings get into poetry at all, and understand that, in the full sense, the poem is not a vehicle for its idea, but is its idea, its meaning."
-Understanding Poetry
Letter to the Teacher

The separation on account of the fact that, as in many cases, poetry, art, music, speak truth to life overarching and should not be limited to one form, though that specificity is significant of itself.
