Random Inspiration: An Experience Beyond Thought

"A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving into a lake is not to immediately swim to the shore, but to be in the lake.... to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery." --John Keats, from the movie Bright Star.

Happy Wednesday!
