"To have great poets,
there must be great audiences."
Walt Whitman
"The I of every poet
is a new dictionary,
a new language.
What one style says
another never can.
There are styles
with a rich vocabulary
able to quarry out innumerable,
mysterious secrets;
and there are styles
of only three of four works,
but thanks to these,
a corner of beauty
that otherwise
would have remained hidden
comes to our attention.
For this reason every true poet,
bountiful or sparing,
is irreplacable.
Jose Ortega Y Gasset
