that poems should be tterwin rarely and reluctantly. He sets up poets as mediums, and necromancy could become an unhealthy habit, I guess. (He also claims in the preceding line that his poem is not a poem; he can't be subject here, after all, to the same spirits that he warns about!)I agree with what he fears his readers think: his poem is in part just one more means / of praising Art with the help of irony. Not the irony that he refers to and has developed to that point, but the irony that he fully develops by the last stanza when he includes himself and his poem. By that stanza, irony is in full swing, and I don't believe a word he says. But the whole poem leads well to what is my favorite stanza, too, on the purpose of poetry. (I love this poem.)I have no idea why juxtaposing Milosz's reading with your video works so well. Which is to say it's a real insight and a lot of fun to experience.

My heart has been played with, broken and then smashed, and I still wonder how I survived it. Thanks for this poem.

sometimes it really feels like some pains could not be felt when they are sharp ..... to this poem i relate .. it made me realise that we are so many out there willing and having a wish that we could not feel other pains rather be in dark than having a sharp emotional pain
