I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune while character comes from within.
But the gravest difficulty and perhaps the most important in poetry meant solely for recitation is the difficulty of achieving verbal beauty or rather of making verbal beauty tell.
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration or rather obliterates all consideration.
Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while.
There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.
Football is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer's journey shifts the emphasis from process to product and lacks individuality and openness. It's not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments but it should seem alive.
In art scandal is a false narrative a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing we overreact.
