colophon
et merci mille fois
personal matters
sagacity unfurled
Inside everyone lives a fearful Platonic Censor, who shudders at the thought of enlargement, and forbids it. To make poems is to violate Platonic standards of civilization; the poet grows up in civilization, subject to its prohibitions; the Plato inside him banishes—and punishes—Orpheus and Dionysus. In old stories about the Devil, he gives us what we ask for, and it is our ruin.
