I too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. br Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers that there is in br it after all, a place for the genuine. br Hands that can grasp, eyes br that can dilate, hair that can rise br if it must, these things are important not because a br high sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because they are br useful; when they become so derivative as to become unintelligible, br the same thing may be said for all of us, that we br do not admire what br we cannot understand: the bat, br holding on upside down or in quest of something to br br eat, elephants pushing, a wild horse taking a roll, a tireless wolf under br a tree, the immovable critic twitching his skin like a horse that feels a flea, the base­ br ball fan, the statistician -- br nor is it valid br to discriminate against "business documents and br br school-books": all these phenomena are important. One must make a distinction br however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the result is not poetry, br nor till the poets among us can be br "literalists of br the imagination" -- above br insolence and triviality and can present br br for inspection, imaginary gardens with real toads in them, shall we have br it. In the meantime, if you demand on one hand, br the raw material of poetry in br all its rawness and br that which is on the other hand br genuine, then you are interested in poetry.
