The Slender Poe Anthology (2013)
“And I! my spells are broken.
The pen falls powerless from my shivering hand.
With thy dear name as text, though bidden by thee, I can not write—I can not speak or think— Alas, I can not feel; for ’tis not feeling, This standing motionless upon the golden Threshold of the wide-open gate of dreams, Gazing, entranced, adown the gorgeous vista, And thrilling as I see, upon the right, Upon the left, and all the way along, Amid empurpled vapors, far away To where the prospect terminates— thee... only!
The poet-critic is at times of two minds that are working at cross-purposes. The critic assessing, analyzing, judging. Often the critic has an agenda independent of the poem at hand. This agenda may be thought of as a set of spectacles that, when put on, perceive what the lenses are made to see.
When the poet is engaged in the making of a poem, the poet is after fulfillment of some promise that flickers in the heart, which the head needs to enhance and shape, so the soul will be satisfied.MoreLess
