RE: Meet me in the cosmic sea [Day 35½]

There are, as we know, three modes of cognition: analytical, intuitive, and the mode that was known to the biblical prophets: revelation. What distinguishes poetry from other forms of literature is that it uses all three of them at once (gravitating primarily toward the second and the third). For all three of them are given in the language; and there are times when, by means of a single word, a single rhyme, the writer of a poem manages to find himself where no one has ever been before him, further, perhaps, than he himself would have wished to go.

Those are not my words, they were said by a Russian poet of the end of XXth century, he's revealed a poet's soul for me, I realized, that you guys are different from ordinary people. His words are about you, Daniel!
