From the movie "Bright Star" by Jane Campion
I still don't know how to work out a poem.
A poem needs understanding through the senses.
The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the Lake,
to luxuriate in the sensation of water.
You do not work the lake out.
It is an experience beyond thought.
Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.
I love mystery
