Gravis Gano's Journal

At times I feel a step behind my contemporaries. After supper, depending on Mother's mood, I enjoy slipping out to a quaint pub called the Mermaid. Discussions range from the proper use of catachresis to the biblical allusions prevalent in modern music. Just two nights ago, I happened upon some strangers reading a very bizarre text.




After a brief discussion I found them intellectually superficial and quite rude, but was intrigued by the text before them.


So intrigued that I hired a local raconteur to distract them while I carefully retrieved the text. To keep such simpletons from profundity is to be considered an act of high morality. Regardless, I have not ceased from reading the text since my possession of it. Which leads me to my current thought, better said by the author himself: "It is a function of poetry both to fix and make more conscious and precise emotions and feelings in which most people participate in their own experience, and to draw within the orbit of feeling and sense what had existed only in thought."
