Two Things Quotes - Page 36

• One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves.

  W. H. Auden

Or you don't defang, and those guests get the word and they stop coming.
