I
became a poet because I could not be a scholar, to suggest deep thoughts rather
than actually have them, unless you're Yeats maybe odor of blood when Christ
was slain made all Platonic tolerance vain and vain all Doric discipline so
deep, but maybe not: exactly how did the blood make the Greek things vain?
Poets don't need to spell it out or back it up and when rulers are on the spot
who are they going to turn to, get burned enough times and they'll turn to
scholars we hope which I cannot be but if I have to be a poet I hope it's one
like Yeats.
