Great Regulars: But feeling is not independent of language.

It proceeds through it. My proposal is that feeling is discovered, not articulated, or, at least, that we may begin with feeling but we cannot know its dimensions until it has started its journey through words. Words are, after all, what we work with.

All good poems surprise. Great poems keep surprising for longer, for as long as we can imagine.
