LIFE : A finite succession of infinite opportunities
POETRY : Open sharing of individual ability to channel creative soul-song AWAY from the ego
NOISE : A signal the individual is unaware [s]he COULD decipher
'At qui legitimum cupiet fecisse poema,cum tabulis animum censoris sumet honesti.' Horace Epistles ii 109
The man who would leave behind him a poem, true to the laws of art, when he takes his tables to write will take also the spirit of an honest judge. Horace Epistles ii 109
'Ceux qui savent me devinent, et pour ceux qui ne peuvent ou qui ne veulent pas comprendre, j'amoncellerais sans fruit les explications.' Charles Beaudelaire - Preface Les Fleurs du Mal
"If your work of art is good, if it is true, it will find its echo"
"The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe." Gustave Flaubert 1821_1880
"Il faut effacer le reflet de la personnalité pour que l'inspiration bondisse à tout jamais du miroir. Laissez les influences jouer librement, inventez ce qui a déjà été inventé, ce qui est hors de doute, ce qui est incroyable, donnez à la spontanéité sa valeur pure. Soyez celui à qui l'on parle et qui est entendu. Une seule vision, variée à l'infini. Le poète est celui qui inspire bien plus que celui qui est inspiré. Paul Eluard 1895_1952 Ralentir travaux, 1930
The poet's personality should evaporate, empowering inspiration's rebound from life's mirror ad aeternam. Give diverse influences free reign, invent that which has already been invented, which is as much certitude as incredibility, while according spontaneity peerless and pure priority. Be someone to whom one speaks and who is heard. One unique overview perspective, with infinite variations on a theme. The poet should inspire significantly more than being inspired (trans. JR) http://lapoesiequejaime.net/peluard.htm
"A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used." Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Visualisation of music

"The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the chains that shackle the spirit... the arbitrariness of the constraint only serves to obtain precision of execution." Igor Stravinsky
Alexander Pope : An Essay on Criticism 1709
MISSION : Emission fission without contrition, decision without rendition, cognition without precondition, recognition without submission. Transition within tradition leading from, through and to precognition.
Through twenty-six pieces of lead
to peace will new world be led
after William Caxton 's motto :
With twenty-six soldiers of lead
I will conquer the world.

Would you that spangle of Existence spend
About THE SECRET - quick about it, Friend !
A Hair perhaps divides the False from True -
And upon what, prithee, may life depend ?
.
A Hair perhaps divides the False and True;
Yes; and a single Alif were the clue -
Could you but find it - to the Treasure-house,
And peradventure to THE MASTER too.

./.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.”
~ Kahlil Gibran

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

French Tries : Language, spirit, dream, and so many other things on June 22I came and read your lines.
To me they were like signs
Amongst beautiful words:
Heralds to the world,
Links to the mind,
Waves of beautiful wonders,
Overture to a magical monde,
Journey to new powerful sounds.
All this I found.
Reading further now,
Knowing better also,
I'm sure I wasn't wrong:
Your work is all that strong.
That is true: I am spellbound... -
