If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?
He buys me books, but begs me not to read them,
because he fears they joggle the mind.
I would like to learn. Could you tell me how to grow,
or is it unconveyed, like melody or witchcraft?"
