Know Thyself.
Some quotes:
"Most of the emotions we have are brief: they appear suddenly and vanish. They are part of the swift life of the intelligence....A brief poem does without the scaffolding of secondary ideas. Because of this, it moves more swiftly than the longer poem and with more intellectual exhilaration....In the brief poem... the poet takes the reader to the edge of a cliff, as a mother eagle takes its nestling, and then drops him. Readers with a strong imagination enjoy it, and discover they can fly. The others fall down to the rocks where they are killed instanly."
-Robert Bly from "Dropping the Reader"
