JoeBlue: The first task of the man who wants to be a poet is to study his own awareness of himself, in its entirety; he seeks out his soul, he inspects it, he tests it, he learns it. As soon as he knows it, he must cultivate it!...-But the problem is to make the soul into a monster. Think of a man grafting warts onto his face and growing them there. - Arthur Rimbaud |
