ponder

"The poet’s prime responsibility is to esteem nothing unworthy of notice, nothing too small or too large, too subtle or too obvious, to talk about.

To learn how to say everything and to keep silent.
Silence is the life of poetry. Not the silence of the uncommitted, but Vimalakirti’s silence that shook the world, the silence that hears us at the end of every line of poetry.”
— Robert Kelly, Not this Island Music
[Paul Celan’s silence. Hölderlin’s silence. Rilke’s silence. Goethe’s silence. Rimbaud’s silence.]
