ekphrasis |  | we were a seesaw. Something / ought to be written about how this affects / you when you write poetry: / the extreme austerity of an almost empty mind / colliding with the lush, Rousseau-like foliage of its desire to communicate / Something between breaths, if only for the sake / Of others and their desire to understand you and desert you / For other centers of communication, so that understanding / May begin, and in doing so be undone. |  | - rodrigo moynihan | - jean helion |  | yves tanguy |  | - no one has to re-invent himself with each new encounter with something different or slightly new / | - nowhere does it say that results will issue from a recent overhauling. |  | emerson | - men are better than their theology | - he is great who is what he is from Nature, and never reminds us of others. | - the reward of a thing well done is to have done it |
