A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.

A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.

Money is a kind of poetry.

Everything is complicated if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.

Most people read poetry listening for echoes because the echoes are familiar to them. They wade through it the way a boy wades through water, feeling with his toes for the bottom: The echoes are the bottom.
