BIRTH (2)

The poet is born again and again in the poem he gave birth to himself.

Peer van Meer



Poetry differs in this respect from logic, that it is not subject to the active powers of the mind and that its birth and recurrence have no necessary connection with the consciousness or will.

Percey Bysshe Shelley
